I believe PowerShell should do the same.  The number of times I use get-help (or the alias man) without the `-Full` parameter can be counted on 1 hand (actually probably 0 hands).  I've always disliked the switch that was made to seriously abbreviate PowerShell help topics.  It was too dumbed down. \r\n\r\nSo here's a chance to do the right thing and make the default output the *full* output.  I think that is what both Linux and macOS users would expect.  \r\n\r\nA \"Did you look at the help for the examples on how to use that command\", \r\nB \"Yes, I didn't see any.\"\r\nA \"Oh, didn't you use the -Full parameter on help?\"\r\nB \"Huh?

I'd prefer to have everything and scroll through rather than have it paged. Paging just makes things slower and adds negative value.\r\n I never understood why the default was to show a cut down version when the most useful parts are the examples and the parameter descriptions when you're trying to understand how to use a cmdlet."}}
