I didn't find out-file yet, is there a nice location w/ good documentation on
these, (are these the cmdlets being referred to?) cmdlets?

So out-file will append to my log file for me then? I had been researching
using the [system.io.file] .net object to do that since I wasn't having luck.

Sounds like i was doing it wrong though...

I guess I should now ask for a good place to find documentation on the built
in commands like this one, before I waste time trying to re-write the
powershell (or wheel).

Thanks Rich
