This works perfectly.
$url='http://rss.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml'
$wc = New-Object Net.WebClient
[xml]$resp = $wc.DownloadString($url)
$resp.rss.channel.item |Select Link,Description |Out-Gridview -Title "NY TIMES RSS"
but I would like the Link and Description columns in the Gridview to be plain text, and is it possible to wrap a column in the Gridview.
still learning....
