AppleScript for creating a new folder

[James.Cass at sealedair.com]

Here's yet ANOTHER way.  I'm running Mac OS X 10.2.5.
-- ----------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
     set targetfolderpath to "Macintosh HD:Users:cassj:testfolder"  --
            "testfolder" already exists
     set newfoldername to "stoopidunderpants"
     if folder (targetfolderpath & ":" & newfoldername) exists then
           --do nothing
     else
           make new folder in folder targetfolderpath with properties
                   {name:newfoldername}
     end if
end tell
-- ----------------------------------------------

Hope this helps....Cassj

Hmmmm.  Désolé, mais I am no AppleScript expert (just barely learning) so I
don't know what the problem is.  It works here.  Scott seemed to have a
solution however.
