THtml creates directory on construction

Dear Roottalk,

when I do this in CINT:

> THtml html
> .q

I find a newly created htmldoc in my current directory, which is rather odd. Considering the code above I am doing practically nothing at all. Shouldn't THtml create the output directory when "makeall()" (or similar) is called?

With this behaviour I also get the htmldoc directory when I redirect the output. The only way to get THtml to create a directory at the desired place only, is to change the global environment variable "Root.Html.OutputDir" before creating the THtml object.

I have checked this example on ROOT4 (Linux) and ROOT5 (Solaris, MacOS X) and got the same result everytime.

I checked my .rootrc files, but I found no entries concerning THtml output directory.

regards

Thomas L.
