Nit-picky, I know, but with PowerShell, you don't need the Write-Output cmdlet. Just type the variable name and press Enter to display it's value. $ home will display your home directory; $ profile will display the fully-qualified path to your PowerShell profile, et cetera.

I am w/ you regarding the need and obligation to preserve history. I think the problem here is that currently valid information which is immediately useful is mixed with historical facts. Not sure what the solution is.

The article is full of references to Multiuser DOS, which I feel is unnecessary as that product is, for all intents and purposes, dead. I suggest that the references be removed to de-clutter this article. Thanks.
