'When you run an app, you often want subfolders to exist, to
'have a specific place to put files created or needed by the app
'Run this subroutine each time your app starts, to make sure the
'folders are ready for use.
'Primary Code:
'this example creates 6 different subfolders, if they do not already exist.
'the PowerBASIC IsFile function works on files or folders
