Eric,
        I posted from execpc shortly after reading your message,
apparantly my reply didn't get out .
        I see Jim Bennet has already done the deed for you too!
Well, here is the version that came out of my keyboard, in case you
want a couple different ideas to try.  In this case you are simply
shelled out and need to make new directories from your OS command
line.
 {:dl_path}
         {inpu dldir,Download directory Selection}
         {comp dldir} {ifco mt_dldir}
         {ifex %dldir\NUL,retu,make_dldir}
 {:mt_dldir}
         {exec-n cd>dldir}
         {rope dldir}
         {read dldir} {rclo}
         {exec-n del dldir}
         {goto dl_path}
 {:make_dldir}
         {info-qs0 %dldir does not exist, Make it?}
         {ifco ,dl_path}
         {shel}
         {goto dl_path}
 {:retu} {retu}
