I dug a bit deeper in this subject and I can understand now why it acts different than regular shells Everything in PowerShell are objects, so the output streams are objects too.
The article on Keith Hill's blog explains the details. http://keithhill.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!5A8D2641E0963A97!811.entry So basically the powershell program needs to transform it output from an object stream to a a bunch of string data by applying a pipe to output-string to it. This is a bit difficult in PSPad since the pipe character seems to be eaten up by the syntax highlighter editor. I'm trying to write a wrapper compiler batch file to circumvent this problem. -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,44298,44440> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
