Computer System is on a Laptop Lenovo using RISCBOOKQUAD
using Windows Pro 7. RISCOS 4.02. Programming in Basic.

I want to WITHIN a Basic program
(i) check whether a particular directory is present at for instance
    HostFS::HardDisc4.$.Deposits.Trial
(ii) if not to establish an empty directory entitled Trial at that
location

Getting old aren't we all! Probably quite simple but for some reason
it's eluding me. Can anyone produce suitable Basic or point me in the
right direction.

Sorry if this is really trivial.
