 Description

     When you install the program, directories must be the first thing you
     create.  The DIRMAKE() function allows you to create new directories
     from within your CA-Clipper application.

 Note

     .  <cDirectory> can contain a drive designator and a path,
        wildcards are not allowed.

 Examples

     Change to the "\DATA" directory:

     IF DIRCHANGE("\DATA") == -3         // Path not found
        DIRMAKE("\DATA")
     ENDIF
