----------------------- MKDIR - Internal DOS Command ------------------------
MKDIR creates a subdirectory.
FORMAT: MKDIR [d:]path or MD [d:]path
REMARKS:
d: - the drive of the disk where the subdirectory is to be created. If
omitted, the default drive is assumed.
path - the directory path of the new subdirectory. If path designation does
not begin at the root level then the subdirectory is created in the
current directory. The last directory in the path is the name of the
subdirectory to be created.
You may have as many subdirectories as you wish, subject to:
1. The limitation of available disk space.
2. The maximum length of the path (including the "\" characters) from the
root directory to any subdirectory is 63 characters.
When a subdirectory is created, DOS puts two files "." and ".." in its
directory. These files cannot be erased. The "." file identifies the
subdirectory to DOS. The ".." file identifies the "parent" directory (the
directory that this subdirectory lies within).
EXAMPLES:
Create a subdirectory named BUDGET in the root directory of the default drive:
MKDIR \BUDGET
Create a subdirectory named DATA in the directory BUDGET of the default drive.
BUDGET is a subdirectory of the root directory:
MKDIR \BUDGET\DATA
Note: If the current directory is set to BUDGET, you may specify:
MKDIR DATA
Create a subdirectory named TEST in the root directory of drive B. The default
drive is A:
MKDIR B:\TEST
