Thanks -

As I said, I'm new to Mono - still getting oriented, trying to
understand how the pieces fit together. 

So: to determine compatibility with a particular C# release I need to be
looking at the Mono package itself which includes the compiler, not the
IDE. I should be able to take it from there. Thanks for this important
clarification.
