  You can also use MD instead of MKDIR.
  If you simply type "MKDIR 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.
  MKDIR is a command internal to command.com and needs no other file
  in order to work.
