Looks like you have been after a solution to this problem for awhile now - back in 2009 I blogged about a Tweet you made and provided a macro solution to achieve this:

It looks like you're trying to write PowerShell. Would you like me to launch the PowerShell for Dummies Clippy Lives Forever Edition for you to do this?
