With a name like that, there've almost certainly been multiple things using it. The PowerShell that comes with modern Windowses came out in 2006, and IMO it's less of a shell language and more of a scripting language. And if I want to use a scripting language for program flow control, I'll use Python or Pike, fankyouwerrymuch. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
