Below is the script that I am working with. I want it to prompt me for the "directory name" and change to that directory after it is created. Is this possible? mkdir "directory name" cd "directory name" mkdir blocks mkdir exhibits mkdir images mkdir old_submittals mkdir quantities mkdir refs mkdir scratch mkdir sheets mkdir structure cd old_submittals mkdir 30% mkdir 60% mkdir 90% mkdir 100% cd ..

Yeah, that can be done. This should do it: @echo off set dirname= :input set /P dirname=Type directory name: %=% if "%dirname%"=="" goto input mkdir "%dirname%" cd "%dirname%" mkdir blocks ... That will work on Windows 2000 and XP only. Alternate methods must be used for other Operating Systems. -- Leonardo Pignataro - Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br

works like a charm - thanks a lot!
