d.mon isn't something you'd want to use from scripts or other
programs. Ultimately, d.mon is just causing those environment
variables to be set whenever you run a display command, so documenting
the variables themselves is more general than documenting a specific
mechanism used to set them. And if you don't need the convenience of
the d.mon interface, setting the variables directly removes some
complexity from the process.
