Hi April,

An couple of short examples:

I am using Get-process as example.
Get-Process | Get-Member

To use the Kill Method

(Get-Process -Name notepad).Kill()
(Get-Process -Name notepad).WaitForExit()

The Kill would have the same effect as the Stop-Process Cmdlet
And the waitForExit the same as Wait-process Cmdlet

To get just one Property or Script property you could use some what the some wat the approach only without the last () with are only for an Method.

(Get-Process).name
(Get-Process).Description

Also the Book ‘PowerShell in an month of lunches’ is a great book for learning all the basic of PowerShell.
