SET DEFAULT [....]  :o)

Creating is worse though. 

CREATE /DIRECTORY [WHATEVER] or

SET DEFAULT [WHATEVER]
CREATE /DIRECTORY []

Boy, I sure missed "MD WHATEVER"!!!!!!  I never could understand
why DCL let you change to a directory that didn't exist.  Didn't
make much sense to me at all.

I believe my syntax is correct.  Either way it was frustrating. I
programmed (and still have if anyone wants them) a set of
utilities for making DCL closer to DOS.
