John,
That does not work for me. I am trying to create folders at the root of arthur
and when I do command shift n, the smart folder dialogue pops up.
I then went to my side bar, but every time I vo down after interacting with it,
I pop into the file table area. I have something on here called remote disk,
which I have no idea what it is, and Gary says it looks like the computer is
trying to open that remote disk thing. Command shift n was where I started all
this. First I tried it with Arthur collapsed, and then I tried it with Arthur
expanded. Same results; I keep getting that smart folder dialogue box.

The simplest way I have found to create a new folder is just to use
command shift and the letter n on the place where you want the folder. In
other words, if I want to create a new folder on my external drive in a folder
called, John's Documents, I'd just have John's Documents highlighted and use
the shift command n combination.
I don't mess much with smart folders or smart mailboxes, but I believe you
can basically set specific requirements as to what these folders or mailboxes
contain.
Take Care
