okay, this is a much more specific question, and i wasn't lazy, i looked
for the answer, and now i resort to you cohorts.

i'm using fileio to create a text file that will store some data. i can
find the user's hard drive on both platforms, using getOSDirectory() and
parsing the string that's returned.

i'd like to put the file in a folder (called "Data") on the hard drive.
i can create the pathname i need, and if the folder exists, it creates
the file in there, no problem.
but if the "Data" folder does not exist, it is not created, and the file
is not written.

i would think that the folder would be created if it did not exist, but
that does not happen.

so,
does anyone know how i can create a new, empty folder?

it sounds like such a simple question but i don't know the answer! i am
the weakest link!!

goodbye,
bhakti
