#736 File command reference not clear

I've found an incongruity in the command reference, the File command:

"If the /oname=X switch is used, the output name becomes $OUTDIR\X. When using the /oname= switch, only one file can be specified, and the file name can contain variables (or a fully qualified path, e.g. $SYSDIR\whatever.dll)."

According to this, if I put /oname=$SYSDIR\whatever.dll, the output name would become $OUTDIR\$SYSDIR\whatever.dll. While in reality it becomes plain $SYSDIR\whatever.dll.

Also the manual does not answer the following question: If I specify a non-existing directory in /oname, will the File command create it?

    Thanks, fixed relative/fully qualified paths reference.

    As for non-existing directories, they won't be created.
