Write yourself (or check if the Master Library already has) a little
function
ensureFolderExists pPathName
which will iterate down the elements of the path, checking htey exist,
or creating if need be.
(I *know* I have one somewhere - but it would be faster to re-write than
to find :-)
Then use that before the revCopyFolder

Okay it looks like the revMoveFolder suffers from the same problem that
renameFolder does: It only works on the endpoint. CRAP! Why so difficult? I'll
come up with a workaround I suppose, or else start saving filled forms in the
database itself.
Thanks all for your help.

For Mac sure. Then I need to deal with Windows. But it's my understanding that
the rev commands for files use shell anyway, so the work has at least partly
been done. But looking at the rev commands it appears there is a revMoveFolder!
Lemme try that one.

Can you use shell? mv to move a folder or cp -R and do a recursive copy?
From reading the dictionary, it does seem that your first example should
work if the intention is to move the 201 folder from "Childrens Law Center"
to folder "bobtest" assuming bobtest already exists, and folder 201 doesn't
pre-exist in that folder. (No clue how "clobbers" are handled with rename
when its used to move stuff)
