 SHORT DESCRIPTION
 
    Lists the reserved words that cannot be used as identifiers because they 
    have a special meaning in Windows PowerShell. 

 LONG DESCRIPTION
 
    There are certain words that have special meaning in Windows PowerShell. 
    When these words appear without quotation marks, Windows PowerShell 
    attempts to apply their special meaning rather than treating them as 
    character strings. To use these words as parameter arguments in a command 
    or script without invoking their special meaning, enclose the reserved 
    words in quotation marks. 

    The following are the reserved words in Windows PowerShell: 

        Break 
        Continue 
        Do 
        Else 
        Elseif 
        Filter 
        For 
        Foreach 
        Function 
        If 
        In 
        Local 
        Private 
        Return 
        Switch 
        Until 
        Where 
        While 

    For information about language statements, such as Foreach, If, 
    For, and While, type "get-help", type the prefix "about_", and then type 
    the name of the statement. For example, to get information about the 
    Foreach statement, type: 

	get-help about_foreach 

    For information about the Filter statement or the Return statement 
    syntax, type: 

        get-help about_functions
