If you are in a tell block, such as the Finder, you _do_ need the 'my' when
calling a handler. But you also need the following parentheses. The lack of
them is why it's not working. You also need 'end tell', of course, but you
probably know that.
tell application "Finder"
if not (folder "name of disk" of disk "Ram Disk" exists) then
my creatIt()
end if
end tell
[I hope you're not trying to give a folder on a disk the same name as the
disk? Or are you trying to see if the actual RAM disk is mounted? I've not
worked with RAM disks, but it seems an odd way to go about it.]
