A basic question: I know how to get AppleScript to make a new

currently active folder, i.e., in the folder I am currently in in
Finder?
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at the front window
Thanks very much Michelle. And sorry to group for lack of subject
line, I am a newsgroup veteran but was too quick on the draw this
time around.
No problem; you're not the first to do it, and you certainly won't be
the last.
Oh by the way, if you want to create a new window at a user-
designated location, here's some code that will do that for you:
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at (choose folder with
prompt "Where should the new folder be created?") with properties
{name:(text returned of (display dialog "What is the new folder's
name?" default answer "Untitled Folder"))}
The following script will let the user do with one dialog:
set foo to ((choose file name with prompt "Choose the new folder's
path and name.") as text)
set text item delimiters to ":"
set FilePath to (text items 1 through -2 of foo) as text
set FileName to last text item of foo
set text item delimiters to ""
tell application "Finder" to make new folder at folder FilePath with
properties {name:FileName}
