I ran Get-Help which asked whether I wanted to run Update-Help, which I did.
How do I get help on using Posh-SSH from within the powershell CLI?

Perhaps I just have the wrong syntax.
Or, perhaps, it's not installed properly. From a different console:
` PS C:\Users\thufir> PS C:\Users\thufir> help New-SSHSession
NAME New-SSHSession
SYNTAX
ALIASES None
REMARKS None
PS C:\Users\thufir>
`
updating help seems to hang in a new console with administrator priveleges:
