You are looking for the functions Directory Exists("path") and Create Directory("path"). Something like:

path = "C:\foo\bar";
If(!Directory Exists(path),
     Create Directory(path),
     Print(path||" already exists.")
);

Look at function

Is Directory()

to check to see if a directory exists, and

Create Directory()

to create a directory

Names Default To Here( 1 );
If( Is Directory( "C:\zippy" ) == 0,
	rc = Create Directory( "CL\zippy" )
);
