Almost every time I hit <Ctrl>+C from a 32-bit console running under Windows 2003 SP1 x64, the console will EXIT WITH PREJUDICE. I am NOT using <Ctrl>+<Break>.

Thanks in advance... 5 10.05.2007 15:39:01 New snapin for consuming .NET events in PowerShell PSEventing 0.5 beta released Events in PowerShell - but how? Events in a .NET executable are generally raised and handled in realtime; at first glance, this doesn't seem possible with our favourite little shell. PowerShell lets us wire up scriptblocks to .NET events as handlers quite easily, but unfortunately when the event is raised, there is no runspace available to execute our script. S... 2 10.05.2007 13:10:05 Embarrassing limitation in PowerShell XCOPY has been a joke forever because, even though it was the best built-in tool for copying files, it was stupidly limited in the folder depth or path length that it would support (and then it would just quit when a path was too long instead of even trying to proceed). So then we got ROBOCOPY instead of Microsoft just fixing XCOPY. So now PowerShell comes out, the new "shell for admini... 11 10.05.2007 12:54:43 Changing powershell prompt I want to change my powershell prompt every time I start powershell.

I am scripting with the Perforce (Source Control) COM object, p4com from the following URL: http://public.perforce.com/guest/robert_cowham/perforce/API/p4com/main/index.html When PowerShell creates a wrapper for the object, it appears to do "the wrong thing" on a write-only property, and the property is not accessible.
