Everything is a file...Yes, but in the documentation filename is used 2 ways, first as a standin for the wordy "file system entity", and second as an ordinary file (not a directory or somesuch). But since its use in mkdir is not the generic file system entity, it's misleading. (I'm particularly amused by rmdir's description.) -QM
