THE MOVE FUNCTION

Access the MOVE function from the WORK menu.  Use MOVE to transport files from one location to another on ProDOS volumes.  Files are moved from the source text path description to the target text path description.  Source file attributes are reproduced in the target file.  Source folder attributes are not reproduced for the target folder.

Source files may be subject to filter tests, the earlier version test, and wild card matching before passing to the target path.

If during a MOVE operation, a subordinate (sapling) file doesn't pass then its superior folder will also remain.

Move Miscellaneous

MOVE will not report access denied errors that occur when FP attempts to delete a directory that has passed but still contains sapling files.  Use the CHOOSE PATH button to quickly determine if any source files remain after a MOVE operation.

See documentation on data transfer, filters, options, and common controls.
