     MKDIR(DOS)        UNIX System V         MKDIR(DOS)



     Name
          mkdir, md - makes a new directory


     Syntax
          mkdir [drive:]path


     Description
          With this command you  can  create  a  multilevel  directory
          structure.    For  instance,  when  you  are  in  your  root
          directory, you can create subdirectories.  Remember, though,
          that  when  you  create  directories with mkdir, they always
          appear under your working directory  unless  you  explicitly
          specify a different path with mkdir.


     Examples
          The following command creates a subdirectory named \user  in
          your root directory:

               mkdir \user

          Now, suppose you want to create a directory named pete under
          the  \user directory.  To do this you could simply enter the
          following command:

               mkdir \user\pete


     Notes
          mkdir is an internal command.
