Research direction

Start by locating the current remote-editing and psedit handling, then investigate how PowerShell exposes the PSISERemoteSessionOpenFile event. Compare that behavior with ISE remote editing and define the consistency and compatibility requirements before proposing a change.

Description

Area-Extension Terminal Issue-Enhancement

This apparently has psedit and such built into it. We should look into switching to that since it's already baked into PowerShell.

Might make remote editing more consistent with the ISE - though I've never tried remote editing with the ISE personally.
