I had done what you suggested prior to running int the issue I documented here.
I restarted my machine and relaunched Monotouch, then attempted to start a new
solution. After all that the project templates showed up. Not sure why the were
not there before. It was frustrating to waste that much time on what was so
trivial.
Anyway things are better. I am making some progress.
Thanks for responding.
