MasterDirectory will create a new directory with the given name. This process will result in creating
the database index and configuration files with the given name and the appropriate extensions. The
newly created directory is opened, with the display including by default the first four fields. The new
directory is empty, so no entries are displayed.
Refer to "Modifying the Settings for Directories" later in this chapter to specify which fields are
displayed, the directory title, and other display options. The full set of fields as defined in the layout of
the directory will be displayed when an entry is selected.

To open a directory:
