                     13: creates a directory called
                     14: .I projectname.
                     15: The directory is known as a
                     16: .I project root directory
                     17: and is the focus for a project.
                     18: Standard entries, `.', for the directory itself, `..', for its parent,
                     19: and `...' for the project link directory, are made automatically.
                     20: After the directory has been created,

                     25: an alternative alias for the project may be specified via the
                     26: .B \-N
                     27: option. However, even if this option is used, the name of the directory
                     28: will be recognized as a project unless it is disguised as a regular
                     29: pathname. For example, to create another project called `spms'
                     30: with alias `newspms', type:

                     34: .I Mkproject
                     35: may also be used to convert an existing regular directory to a
                     36: project root directory.
