| | Changing the 'o' character used in Write-Progress? A very minor request: Is there any way to change the 'o' character used to build the progress-bar when using Write-Progress with - PercentCompleted? Can't help thinking '‘' (177) or '’' (178) would've been easier on the eyes? Many thanks, Duncan |

Then what is written could possibly be customized much easier.

I use Consolas and the characters at 177/178 are: +/- sign character and superscripted 2 character. -- Keith |
