FilePathName - String The path and file name to a .snippets.ps1xml file that contains snippet definitions.

# Loads a custom snippet file into the current PowerShell tab.
$SnipFile = Join-Path ( Split-Path $profile) 'Snippets\MySnips.snippets.ps1xml' $psISE.CurrentPowerShellTab.Snippets.Add($SnipPath)
