What's the syntax to check if a local folder exists?

Just a reminder - don't forget to check "the result" after you do your
"create folder"; if the OS can't create it for some reason, you'll get
something back in "the result". Here's an example:

create folder "this_folder"
put the result into tResult
if tResult is not empty then
  answer "Could not create folder. Error reported was:" && tResult
  exit to top 
end if
