   Interesting - I know little of PowerShell.   
      
   I have just executed   
    Prompt>powershell /?   
   and therefore   
    Prompt>powershell /? > POWRSHEL.TXT   
   !   
      
   Your second example does what I want, except that the selected lines are shown   
   (in a rather small font) but not executed. A simple copy'n'paste seems to fix   
   the latter.   
      
   I need to find Powershell and Out-GridView reference material.   
      
   Thanks.
