EDT MOVE — VMS 4.6

The MOVE (abbreviated M) command moves text from one location to
another, deleting it from the original location.

Format: MOVE [range-1] TO [range-2] [/QUERY]

The lines specified by range-1 are moved to a location immediately
above the first line specified by range-2.  The lines are deleted from
the original location.  If you omit either of the range specifications,
the current line is used.  The first line of range-2 becomes the new
current line.  To move lines of text without deleting them from  the
original location, see the COPY command.

When you use the QUERY (abbreviated /Q) qualifier, EDT prompts you with
a question mark (?) to verify each line to be moved.

Responses are:

    Y   Yes, move this line.
    N   No, do not move this line.
    Q   Quit, do not move any of the remaining lines in the range
    A   All, move all the rest of the lines.
