hi,

im new in skill.

need to include a createDir and call it from custom menu in Allegro.

Created createDir.il file and placed a code below: added menu to point in the directory with createDir.il, but when clicking on the menu item getting E- Command not found: createDir

/* createDir("./NewDir") ./ is relative path with current working directory
*/
procedure (_createDIr()
createDir("./NewDir1")
printf("NewDir1 was created\n" )
)

thanks for help
