Radically different from every shell I've ever called a shell. It looks and feels more like a scripting language than a shell. Here's a Windows batch script I put together that uses PS to do some of its work: https://github.com/Rosuav/Gypsum/blob/master/get_gypsum.bat Granted, that was put together simply by searching Stack Overflow for "how do I do *this* in PowerShell", so there might be other ways to do it; but it feels to me like a VBScript interpreter, not a shell. But hey. It exists by default on recent-enough Windowses, has the features I want, and can be invoked by someone double-clicking on a batch file. If you call it "flurgle", it won't make any difference to me or to my work. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
