Great article. The few times I've needed to work with PS were quite
frustrating, and this covers most of my frustrations.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the built in IDE, powershell_ise.
I definitely preferthis to notepad, the default program for ps1 files.
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell_ise.exe

Personally I prefer host to dig. But either one is far better than nslookup.
