Hi,

I thought about four possible solutions to include Powershell 7 in Emacs. I understand that Powershell 5.1 is not Open Source. But is is not the case with Powershell 7.

I share my idea with ncherry@linuxha.com below. I am still not very familiar with the vast emacs universe. But I am very good in generating ideas. Unfortunately, I am not very confident to get my ideas working on my own.

Yours sincerely

Stanislaw
