If you CD SYS(2023) and then MKDIR '\mykatal\andmed' it works OK. It will work as above if you were to change your temp directory to (say) c:\temp.

Yes this is right - I have reproduced the behaviour on our machines (Win 2k srv&pro; VFP7 SP1)
Temp path SYS(2023) is the short path of "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp"
e.g.
"C:\DOCUME~1\ZLATIN.JEI\LOCALS~1\TEMP"
and because the directory is hidden it does not matter whether you will ChDir/Set default to
it or not.
MkDir refuses to create subdirectories in hidden directories.

There is known simmilar problem with the FILE() function and hidden files.

Maybe we should add handling of hidden files/directories in Toledo wish list.
