I don't think so. The program mkdir also uses the mode 0777 for newly created 
directories, which you will see if you do

umask 0; mkdir /tmp/see; ls -ld /tmp/see

Because in most cases the umask is set to 022, directories created with 
Directory class>>create: (or mkdir) will have a mode of 0755.
This is the behaviour I'd expect from Directory class>>create: . If you want 
a different mode for newly created directories you are free to use Directory 
class>>primCreate:mode: directly.
