Launch Prism Without Invoking bsub or mprun

Launch Prism the correct way by invoking Prism directly. For example, to launch Prism and load four a.out processes:

% prism -n 4 a.out

Do not attempt to launch Prism as an argument to bsub or mprun:

% bsub -n 4 prism a.out

It is unnecessary to launch Prism as an argument to bsub or mprun, since Prism invokes bsub and mprun internally. Therefore, using bsub or mprun to launch Prism is redundant. If you specify a Prism -n argument larger than one, launching Prism as an argument to bsub or mprun causes too many instances of Prism to be launched.
