Discussion
If you do not specifically enter a path designation, the directory will
be
created as a subdirectory within the current directory.
There is no limit to the number of directories you can create. However,
the
maximum length of any single path specification is 63 characters,
including
backslashes.
For more information on MKDIR and other hard disk commands, see Chapter 3,
Using Fixed Disks, in the downloadable
book DOS the Easy Way .
Examples
To create the new subdirectory LETTERS within the existing directory
NEWSALES on drive A, enter
md a:\newsales\letters
If you are already working in the NEWSALES directory, you can create the
new subdirectory LETTERS within that directory by entering
md letters
