CreateDirectory

CreateDirectory["dir"]
creates a directory with name dir.

CreateDirectory[]
creates a directory in the default area for temporary directories on your computer system.

If "dir" is a single name, CreateDirectory creates a subdirectory of your current working directory.

CreateDirectory returns the full name of the directory it creates, and $Failed if it cannot create the directory.
