Hi Jeffrey, I've ended up including the choose you helped me with back here ... http://blogs.technet.com/jamesone/archive/2007/08/28/powershell-again-pipes-and-this-is-not-an-output.aspx ... In a lot of places, so the user can pick something from a list if they aren't sure of the name or don't want to do $x=get-Blah name-of-x

Mow, I thought about this, but I felt that choose (which is interactive) needed a different verb. It's not doing quite what is suggested by select in powershell SQL etc (i.e. applying specified criteria to return something). In normal English Select and choose are equivalent ....
