There are times when I want to store files that belong to the user that I want to keep between sessions but the application works easier if you specify a directory for the files rather than having to name every individual file.This would allow me to store files in /sbbs/data/user/0001/filewhatever.txtThen, if and when a user account is deleted, the /sbbs/data/user/xxxx directory is removed along with any xxxx files. Others could then use that directory so /sbbs/data/user doesn't get filled will thousands of files.

That says if it exists, which means i have to check for the directory every time, i cannot assume it's there. I'm saying create it by default so I'll know it's always there, or should be.

You "have to check for the directory every time" you do what? The thing that creates a file in that directory can/should create the directory itself. No checking is needed, just call mkdir() before creating files in the directory. There's not a lot of point to having SBBS create tons of (typically) empty directories when they can just be created when needed very easily.
