-===== Example =====
+===== Example: Referencing Default Folders =====
-To refer to the default folder
+Certain default folder paths can be referred to within a pipeline script. This example identifies all the CMZ files in Visual3D's default folder and all of its sub-folders:
-**Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_Folder_Path**
+<code>
+Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_Folder_Path
 /PARAMETER_NAME=FOLDER
 /PARAMETER_VALUE=VISUAL3D_DEFAULT_FOLDER
-**;**
+;
-To identify all the CMO files in this folder and all sub folders:
-**Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_List_Of_Files**
+Set_Pipeline_Parameter_To_List_Of_Files
 /PARAMETER_NAME= the name of the Pipeline Parameter created
 /FOLDER= The folder from which to start the search
 /SEARCH_SUBFOLDERS=TRUE
-! /FILE_MASK=*.cmo
+/FILE_MASK=*.cmz
