cfset sets a variable to the value you specify.
cfset foo = bar
cfparam sets a variable to the default variable if it has not already been
specified. It is especially useful for options form fields on an 'action'
page.
cfset foo = bar
cfparam name="foo" default="kabob"
in the above example the variable 'foo' would have the value of 'bar'
