@carrion: really they are partitions, but can be used as subdir with assigned space.
This because they can be nested, that is each partition can have further partitions inside it (I believe there are no limit of levels).
The syntax and parameters are what above described by JamesC.
Warnings: all partition creations from the root level are checked by DOS in order to not include the disk BAM (track 40). Lower levels partition creations are not checked, then programmer has the responsibility to not include in the new partition the BAM track of the current partition. This is not complicated because it is always the first track of (current) partition area.
The navigation inside are easy, just PRINT#x,"/0:partition-name" to enter in.
Only the navigation backward is not implemented. Then it is suggested to go to root (PRINT#x,"/") and if the case go ahead.
And yes, this all is part of standard DOS of 1581 drive.
