Creating a cmdlet using csc.exe - missing namespaces

I've got some C# code to create a custom cmdlet with these statements:

....
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
....

My compile fails:
PSH> csc /t:library /r:$ref testweather2.cs
Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2005 Compiler version 8.00.50727.1378
for Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 2005 Framework version 2.0.50727
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 2001-2005. All rights reserved.

testweather2.cs(65,13): error CS0246: The type or namespace name
'Collection' could not be found (are you missing a
using directive or an assembly reference?)
testweather2.cs(69,13): error CS1579: foreach statement cannot operate
on variables of type
'Collection<System.Management.Automation.PSObject>' because
'Collection<System.Management.Automation.PSObject>'
does not contain a public definition for 'GetEnumerator'
PSH>

So I'm figuring I need to add a couple of references. I'm assuming I
need to go and find the DLLs for:
1. System.Collections
2. System.Collections.Generic
3. System.Collections.ObjectModel

Are they normally hidden? I can't seem to find them.

Visual Studio C# Express 2005 doesn't have a problem with them though,
and can compile my code without errors.

That also brings up another point, if the path has spaces, I've not been
able to figure out how to add a reference with spaces to csc.exe. Tried
quotes, casting it to a string... I can't figure it out.
