If you are using OS X, I think this may be the easiest way. (When you use
it, be sure it's only 2 lines.)


set abc to POSIX path of ((path to startup disk as Unicode text) & "ABC:my
folder")
do shell script "mkdir -p" & space & (quoted form of abc)

Why use shell script if you can do it in vanilla Applescript?
