Abstract: Windows PowerShell has been included with the
operating system since Windows 7 and is available for download for Windows XP
and Vista. What is PowerShell? It's Microsoft's task automation scripting
framework. PowerShell isn't just a replacement for batch files; it can do a lot
more than batch files ever could. This session looks at PowerShell, including
why you should start using it and how to create PowerShell scripts.
Mark your calendar now. We’ll have Southwest Fox previews by
Tamar E. Granor on September 9 and another by Toni Feltman on October 14.

I encourage everyone to attend. Doug is one of the smartest people in the FoxPro world and a tremendous speaker. He is also a terrific person. He's Canadian, after all. One of my best memories of FoxPro is picking Doug up at O'Hare and driving him to an early WhilFest, just shooting the breeze. A really nice memory. Go to the group meeting and find a nice memory of your own.
No one encouraged me to say this; it is all on my own. A sincere compliment is always a pleasure.
Just don't let him rattle on about the Canadian Football League too long.
