How To Create A Folder from inside a dialog box?

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

If dialog box is open, navigate to current session Bounced Files Folder and create a folder named Stems inside the Bounced Files folder.

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

I have not created the code for Create New Folder and name it Stems yet because I don't know how to write it. This is currently a successful script to get to the current sessions Bounced Files Folder.

How were you running this script?

I used a Stream Deck button
