I gave the ending segment.  R doesn't do anything surprising here.  If
your current working directory is "/blah", then  

 sink( "Subdir/filename" )

will try to write to the file "/blah/Subdir/filename".  This will fail
if "/blah/Subdir" doesn't exist.

We have setwd() to change the working directory, and getwd() to find
it, but no mkdir() to create a directory that doesn't already exist.
