I also talked about specifying an action to take when a breakpoint is reached.

This is actually the third article this week in which I talk about using Windows PowerShell to debug scripts. Today I want to talk a little bit about using the Windows PowerShell ISE to debug a script. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here. Summary: Learn how to use the debugging tools in the Windows PowerShell ISE to speed development of scripts.
