PowerShell's Read Line

So, after the last project log, it looks like I will have to backtrack to WPF/winforms.

So now, I'm spending my time looking for a syntax highlighter for powershell. For the most part I have been successful.

It looks like the only good ones out there are the ones used by Microsoft. Luckily, at least one of these "highlighters" is open source: PSReadLine.

PSReadLine is a ReadLine parser for PowerShell, and comes included with most instances of PowerShell. It provides a variety of handy features, such as text completion, shell history, and most importantly syntax highlighting.

While I did not make a lot of progress today, I'm hoping my research into PSReadLine will be time well spent
