Charles Buckett's and Bill Briggs's replies much appreciated. (Gee, the script by JD from the archives, provided by Charles, had me peering into Eudora's 'aete' resource to see what «class euFS» is.)

Yes, I was hoping to find a way to make Eudora aware of the new mailbox if the latter is created while Eudora is running. I'm already doing this with GUI-scripting, but was hoping to find a way to do it without, as it would probably be more robust.

The problem is that there doesn't seem to be any any working form of the command

	tell application "Eudora" to ¬
	   make {various properties} new mailbox'.

They may compile and even execute without errors, but no mailbox appears.

FWIW, here's one way to create a mailbox using Bill's method: "quit Eudora, create the new file behind Eudora's back,...then re-launch." At least the code's compact and legible:

    set {fContainerPath, fName} to ¬
       {path to startup disk, "New Mailbox"}--for example
    makeEudoraMailbox(fContainerPath, fName)

    on makeEudoraMailbox(fContainerPath, fName)
       tell application "Finder"
          set newFile to make at item fContainerPath new file
          tell newFile to set {file type, creator type, name} to ¬
             {"TEXT", "CSOm", fName}
          open file fName of item fContainerPath
       end tell
    end makeEudoraMailbox
