Move

A command or an instruction to transfer informa-tion from one location to another. Depending on the opera-tion involved, a move can affect data in a computer’s memory or it can affect text or a graphical image in a data file. In programming, for example, a move instruction might transfer a single value from one memory location to another. In applications, on the other hand, a move com-mand might relocate a paragraph of text or all or part of a graphic from one place in a document to another.
