My PowerShell_ISE Profile

[UDPATE – the original post had a script which did not work with CTP3 so I’ve replaced it with the correct version. Apologizes for the screw up.
I’ve updated the attached file as well. – jps]

I thought I would share my PowerShell_ISE profile with you. I haven’t done anything to clean this up or document it which I should do before sharing but I figured that it would be better to get some good examples out there and then I can clean it up later.

This function is now built-in to the editor so it is no longer needed.
I’m keeping it here so you can see how it works.
