    stupid newbie questions

    Is there a way to modify the command-line editing features? Ideally
    I'd like something like ksh's set -o emacs.

    Are there replacements for Out-Host that behave more like pg or less
    (e.g. backscrolling, text search)?

    Nothing short of trying PowerShell hosted in a different environment like
    PowerShell Analyzer. http://www.powershellanalyzer.com/

    In PSCX 1.1 we redist the unix less-394 utility and swap that in for paging
    the help topics.
