## 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.
