Comments:
You can also use MKDIR instead of MD.
If you simply type "MD PATHNAME" the directory will be created
in the momentaneous direcory. Means: You create a subdirectory.
In pure DOS the directory name must not be longer than 8 letters.
MD is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
in order to work.
Examples:
md c:\test
md c:\test\testx
or if you are in c:\test:
md test2 (creates c:\test\test2)
