[nfbcs] Power Shell

[Rasmussen, Lloyd]

Jamal Mazrui collected some documentation together for PowerShell, and did a bit of scripting with it at one time (it's been out for at least 3 years).  It can be installed in Windows XP, and comes standard with Vista and 7.  As far as I can tell, it's an expanded version of the Windows command-line processor, and you use it in console mode.  So if you can get JAWS to read the console satisfactorily, you should be able to do a lot.

In a word, has anyone worked with Power Shell with JAWS?  Is it feasible?
If yes, what "gotchyas" did you encounter?

 

Thanks in advance.
