I have the same move installed for ages. However, I never liked it (cause
of that RC=0 thing) and a week ago it nuked me a bunch of files:

(it was on SFS)

list #?.html lformat "move %s%s path/" >scr
execute scr

it moved all the listed files to path/ but wrote each one on top of the
other with a cryptic name. It sucks !

Maybe a script would help ?

; $VER: Move 11284.0211424422 (07 Apr 01)
; 'move' at own Risk !
.key from/a to/a
.bra {
.ket }

IF exists {from}
copy {from} {to} clone
delete {from} quiet force
ELSE
echo "Move: Source does not exist."
QUIT
ENDIF

or so....

Good bye,
