MS DOS Commands Inquiry

Hi,

How do you create subdirectories in Autoexec of win98se?
I installed a ramdrive on my Win98se system. In a nutshell, upon startup autoexec does this:

md I:\TEMP
set Temp = I:\Temp
set Tmp = I:\Temp

(I:\ is the drive letter of my Ramdrive)

I want to make subdirectories within the temp folder upon startup. Something like:

I:\Temp\<subdirectory>

How can I achieve this?

When I do this:

md I:\TEMP\<subdirectory>

I receive a "Too many parameters" error message.

after creating the parent directory type:

cd\TEMP
md\childdir1

i hope this helps. peace!

How about doing a fast test:

wherever you happen to be try creating again

md i:\test
md i:\test\test

should end up with a test directory and a test subdirectory under it. This to verify that the correct commands will create both. And to start the diagnosis that the set commands may be getting in the way.
