There is no move function and I am sure you could argue the advantages and disadvantages. ASs far as moving items in the fashion that you wish, dpo the following.
1. find the first item you wish include in the list you plan to move. 2. Interact with the list of items. 3. turn off cursor tracking, VO-keys+shift+f3. 4. Either lock the VO-keys or hold down those keys and move to the next item you wish to select. 5. Once you locate that item, while keeping the VO-keys locked or held down, press and hold the command key and then tap the spacebar. 6. Repeat the above steps until all files are selected. Now you can use command+c to copy them. Yes it takes a little more time to go back and remove those files, but you of course can use Terminal to speed up the process, as you figured out. hth On Mar 7, 2009, at 10:51 PM, James Dietz wrote: > > 2.
