Summary: Use Windows PowerShell to find cmdlets and their associated synopsis.

 How can I easily find a list of specific Windows PowerShell cmdlets and their associated meanings?

 Use the Get-Command cmdlet, pipe the results to the Foreach-Object and Get-Help cmdlets,
           then select the name and synopsis, for example:

gcm -Noun item* | % {get-help $_} | ft name, synopsis
