Powershell Help 2.0 Community Edition
Our Powershell Help tool has been a favorite download for quite some time now. The built-in help command in the Powershell console is helpful if you need just some quick lookup, but for browsing and reading the console just isn’t good enough. The CHM file Microsoft released is a pretty nice graphical way of getting […]

In some cases, a form can even function as a complete script in and of itself. The Get-GuiDate script, developed from a prototype written with PrimalForms, is an example of a script that is completely centered around a control (the Windows.Forms.MonthCalendar control) embedded in a Windows Form.

PrimalPad and registry access.
We have received some feedback that PrimalPad’s saving its settings to a computer’s registry reduces its role as portable editor. You can easily avoid that by placing a primalpad.ini file next to the PrimalPad.exe on your flash drive. PrimalPad will write and read its settings to and from that file rather than the registry. You […]
