(Orso, 2014.03.25): This was hidden since VW 10 (NOT 2010!), so the compatibility is far more than VW 2014 only.
Prompts for the selection of a folder. Defaults to the folder name in the argument list. Returns 0 if the user hits OK, and -1 if the user hits cancel. The starting VAR directoryPath is overwritten with the path of the chosen folder
Example
