Certainly sounds like it, doesn't it? But it's not... this does not 
actually add a Directory; it will find any source files in the specified 
(pre-existing) directory, and add them to the Project. But, no, it does 
not actually create a directory.

Right-click's "New package" *DOES* create a directory, but it has two 
side effects which are not always desirable:

  * Adding the directory to the Project (not what I want when creating
    dirs for project management, obsolete versions, dev notes, etc)
  * Creating an __init__ file in the directory... a minor annoyance
    since it's zero bytes, but could conceivably cause mischief by
    adding a package to the namespace unintentionally.

Right now I'm just using OS tools to create new, non-package dirs... I'm 
just surprised that eric doesn't appear to support that directly...

Thanks,

MikeM
