My pwd is 



/home/john


and need to create three folders, File1 File2 File3 in the Desktop folder. I have two choices.



cd Desktop/
mkdir File1..3


or



mkdir Desktop/File1 Desktop/File2 Desktop/File3


Is there a way to go with the second choice without having to type the relative path (Desktop) each time ?



Thanks
