Summary: Use Windows PowerShell Help to assist with a specific parameter.

Hey, Scripting Guy! Question I know I can use Get-Help –full to see the complete Help for a Windows PowerShell cmdlet, but how can I
           see the Help for only  a specific parameter?

Hey, Scripting Guy! Answer Use the Get-Help cmdlet, specify the cmdlet name, and then specify the specific parameter, for example:

get-help Start-Process -Parameter wait

The "Scripting Guys" is a historical title passed from scripter to scripter. The current revision has morphed into our good friend Doctor Scripto who has been with us since the very beginning.
