  That is exactly why I had to modify the "dsave" script. To work around 
that. Once I get that "main" coco all fixed up and connected to this W7 
box. Then I can work on transferring that makdir command which you made.
  Right now, I have to get that coco up and running again. Quite a few 
steps to get to that end.
