You keep using the flag `-mono` … #42

Inigo Montoya, QA Engineer:

x3270 keeps using that flag [-mono]. The users do not think it means what x3270 thinks it means.

The mono resource wiki page should thoroughly document how to force green screen (3278) mode.

Better yet, x3270 should support a -3278 flag to make forcing green mode (nearly) idiot proof. Of course, the mono resource page should document this.

I have updated the mono resource Wiki page, which I agree could have been misinterpreted as a way to set 3278 mode.

I think '-model 3278' (the proper option) is sufficient and '-3278' is not needed.
