After that, the console will resize whenever you rotate the device. In order to gain access to the enhanced features (and to log out of a PSWA session) you must DOUBLE TAP…

Where-Object ac Add-Content Save the file as a text file using the format: <filename>.table DO NOT name your file: alias.table as this will override the standard alias table when you add it to the system. You can modify the standard alias table by adding your own aliases, although this is NOT recommended…
