You did not open EmelFM as root. Linux is a multi-user, multi-tasking OS. That means that several users can open several programs at the same time on one machine. In this instance you opened a terminal and became root in the terminal, but then you opened EmelFM as a normal user as a seperate process. To open EmelFM as super user, or root, you can open the terminal, type sudo su, enter, then type emelfm to open it as root, but you need to be in an x terminal to do that (that's a terminal that runs graphical programs, like EmelFM.) The easier way is already set up for you in DSL. Simply right click on the EmelFM icon and select EmelFM as super user. Now you should be able to select the top directory and create a new directory under it that's called optional.
This is probably not the right forum for this discussion any longer. Maybe the moderator could move it to somewhere more appropriate.
