  5.  Purpose: Creates a subdirectory on the specified disk in the current direct- 
  6.           ory.                                                                
  7.                                                                               
  8.  Format:  MKDIR [d:]path  or  MD [d:]path                                     
  9.                                                                               
  10.  Remarks: [d:] to specify the drive letter you want to create the subdirectory
  11.           on.  If you do not specify a drive, the default drive is assumed.   
  12.                                                                               
  13.           [path] to specify the directory name you wish to create. Subdirec-  
  14.           tory names must not be longer than 8 characters.                    
  15.                                                                               
  16.           Each directory can contain file and directory names that also ap-   
  17.           pear in other directories. In other words, two or more files or     
  18.           directories can have the same name, as long as they are defined in  
  19.           separate directories.

  21.                                                                               
  22.  Example: MD NEWDIR  would create a directory called \NEWDIR in the current   
  23.           directory.  In this example, if current directory (before using the 
  24.           MD command) is \HANDLER, then the new subdirectory created would    
  25.           reside in the \HANDLER directory as:  \HANDLER\NEWDIR               
  26.                                                                               
  27.           Typing CD\ <return> and then MD NEWDIR would then create the new    
  28.           subdirectory in the ROOT directory as: \NEWDIR.
