I don't know that sounds kind of difficult.

Just kidding thank you much.

F7 is build. F5 is debug.

Thanks a lot - but please keep posting binaries (or bootstrapping info on how to build MonoDevelop with MonoDevelop) - not having to use VS is quite important for me - and maybe for others too.

You might want to mention you need VS 2008 or later.

Good work!
