In a recent thread a powershell command was suggested.
I don't often run powershell but every time I do, it complains.

powershell
Windows PowerShell

Try the new cross-platform PowerShell https://aka.ms/pscore6
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/install/installing-powershell-on-windows

Is going to all that trouble of "installing the new powershell"
worth the effort or is the new ps no better than the old one?

It has a few niceties, the "problem" may be that you get used to the new
niceties, then your scripts don't work properly on other people's
machines with just the bog-standard version installed.
