Yes, I just tried it, and neither way works for me.

I can use answer folder to check to see if a folder is there... but the 
folder is definitely not there, especially since I'm getting a "Can't 
create that directory" problem each time I run it.

I wonder if it is an error with my mctools... I'm totally stumped right 
now.

I have a dialog in place right now that notifies the user and tells 
them a folder has not been created (and thus their course has not been 
saved).

I'm still totally stumped as to why it's working fine in Mac OS X but 
not in Classic.  If anyone else has any ideas, I'd love to hear them  
(including AppleScript solutions) .  If not, I'll probably just require 
Mac OS 9 users to have to create a folder manually.  Oh well.

Thanks,
Karl
