Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

MKDIR creates a new directory.
 
MKDIR pathname$
    ■ The argument 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.
