You may want to use the findfile command with the full qualified path and
the nul file appended to. E.g:
print, findfile("C:\temp\nul")
If the directory exists (empty or not) the file nul exists as well and
will be returned by findfile. I am using this with Windows IDL, not sure wether
it works with other operating systems
Hope this helps,
Gerhard
