If you want to do a recursive add I recommend you use 'clearimport'.

If you want any file element under directory element in your vob then
you have to add the directory element into the source control first
and then create a new file element under directory element once you
add the file element come back and check in the direcory element.

In CLI
cleartool mkdir dirname
cleatool co -nc dirname
cd dirname
cleartool mkelem file.txt
cd..
cleartool ci -nc dirname
cd dirname
cleartool co -nc file.txt
after you add some codes
just say cleartool ci -nc file.txt

IN GUI

first add your direcory element into the source control and then
create a new file element and add the file into the source control
I hope you got the answer.

I'm not sure what you want to do, but if you want to just a directory:

>ct mkelem -eltype directory <dir>

Sorry, if this is not what you want to do
