Using –showwindow
The new –showwindow parameter in Get-Help pops up a little window containing the FULL help file. Much better than having to rememebr to use –full. PowerShell immediately returns the prompt so you can continue working – means you can have a number of help files open simultaneously.
Get-Help -Name Get-Process –ShowWindow
This gets to be a bit too much typing – so time to use PowerShell to help and create a function to do the work.
function doc {
param (
[string]$subject
)
Get-Help -Name $subject -ShowWindow
}
pass in the subject and get the help Window.
