Thanks for your reply Ben.

I understand that I am supposed to be getting a Dir instance.
My confusion is indeed regarding the value of the name field of Dir for 
which I get a (full) path symbol of the directory and not just the folder 
name as I would expect.

When I run (create-dir "test") and the test folder is in the same folder as 
my racket racket file (using just the folder name as you suggested), I get 
the following Dir instance for which the symbol is still the path to the 
folder from the given root

(make-dir
 'test
 (list
  (make-dir
   *'test/a*
   (list (make-dir *'test/a/docs* '() '()))
   (list (make-file ".DS_Store" 6148 (make-date 2020 3 20 13 7 33) "") 
(make-file "me.txt" 0 (make-date 2020 3 20 13 1 42) ""))))
 (list (make-file ".DS_Store" 6148 (make-date 2020 3 20 13 7 28) "")))

*I am expecting to get this *

(make-dir
 'test
 (list
  (make-dir
   *'a*
   (list (make-dir *'docs* '() '()))
   (list (make-file ".DS_Store" 6148 (make-date 2020 3 20 13 7 33) "") 
(make-file "me.txt" 0 (make-date 2020 3 20 13 1 42) ""))))
 (list (make-file ".DS_Store" 6148 (make-date 2020 3 20 13 7 28) "")))
