MKDIR Statement
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Action

 Creates a new directory.


 Syntax



  MKDIR  pathname$

 Remarks


 The  pathname$ is a string expression that specifies the name of the
 directory to be created in DOS. The  pathname$ must be a string of fewer
 than 64 characters.

 The  MKDIR statement works like the DOS command MKDIR. However, the syntax
 in BASIC cannot be shortened to MD, as it can in DOS.

 You can use  MKDIR to create a DOS directory with a name that contains an
 embedded space. However, although you can access that directory through DOS,
 you can remove it only with the BASIC  RMDIR statement.

 statement.
