Is it possible to duplicate a powershell session in a new window? I often find that I've created environment variables, activated a specific python virtualenvironment, defined one-off functions, custom prompt, etc. and it would be handy to duplicate those specific, one-off details of the current session into another session in another window.

Figured it out myself. Because Powershell works with .net objects rather than text, you need to use get-content to expose the contents of the text files. So to perform what I was trying to do in the question, use:
compare-object (get-content one.txt) (get-content two.txt)

You should use Powershell profile. In the profile you can have all of those functions, variables etc. Basically every time you open a powershell window, you can load your custom powershell profile which in turn will also load your settings as defined. Please see this link: Powershell profile.
