I got it working but then discovered that things like | and > didn't work :-( Hosting the PowerShell engine is probably the "proper" way to do this :-) Andrew. Karl,

But I'm thinking -- generalize it into a console application hoster. Then in the options, you can specify the app to be hosted (powershell, ironpython, cmd, etc), and whether the flyout shows up automatically when the control has focus. Maybe pick up the exe's icon and use that in the UI. Personally, I think you've already done all the hard work. :) Again, very nifty.
