CREATE DIRECTORY

            CREATE  DIRECTORY PathName [/PLOT_PAGE SizeX SizeY] [/GEOMETRY Args]
        [/POSITION Args]

        Create a new directory. PathName syntax follows  "Unix-like"  pathnames,
        with  the  use  of  token '<' instead of '/'. Constructs like ..<Dir are
        valid.

        To create a new directory tree (called e.g. NewTop), use  the  following
        syntax:
            CREATE DIRECTORY <NewTop

        The  plot  space size of a new directory tree can be customized with the
        option /PLOT_PAGE. This option can not be used to create subdirectories,
        since they inherit the plot space size of their parent directory.

        Under X, a new window is implicitely attached to a new top directory be-
        ing created. Its geometry and position can be customized through the op-
        tions  /GEOMETRY  and /POSITION respectively. See HELP CREATE WINDOW for
        syntax and creation rules. These options are  illegal  when  creating  a
        subdirectory (for which no window is attached at creation time).
