MOVE

Moves one or more files to the location you specify. The MOVE command 
can also be used to rename directories. 

Syntax 

MOVE [/Y|/-Y] [drive:][path]filename[,[drive:][path]filename[...]] 
destination 

Parameters 

[drive:][path]filename Specifies the location and name of the file or 
files you want to move. Also specifies the name of a directory you want 
to rename. 

destination Specifies the new location of the file, or the new name of 
the directory. Destination can consist of a drive letter and colon, a 
directory name, or a combination. If you are moving only one file, you 
can also specify a filename if you want to rename the file when you move 
it. If you are moving more than one file, the destination must be a 
directory name. Moving a file to an existing file overwrites the 
existing file. 

Switches 

/Y Indicates that you want MOVE to replace existing file(s) without 
prompting you for confirmation. By default, if you specify an existing 
file as the destination file, MOVE will ask you if you want to overwrite 
the existing file. (Previous versions of MS-DOS would simply replace the 
existing file.) If the MOVE command is part of a batch file, MOVE will 
replace the file without prompting you. Specifying this switch overrides 
all defaults and the current setting of the COPYCMD environment 
variable. 

/-Y Indicates that you want MOVE to prompt you for confirmation when 
replacing an existing file. Specifying this switch overrides all 
defaults and the current setting of the COPYCMD environment variable. 

NOTE: Using MOVE command can easily move files between different 
directories. In MS-DOS 6.22 or earlier, REN command cannot be used to 
rename directories. MOVE command can help you do that. Since Windows 95, 
this restriction no longer exists. In Windows NT series, MOVE command is 
considered an internal command so you cannot see its executable file as 
MOVE.EXE. The syntax of MOVE command is very simple, just "MOVE source 
destination". Note that MOVE command in Windows NT doesn't support 
specifying of multiple "source"s. A strange thing is that in the 
command-line reference to MOVE, that is, the "MOVE /?" or "HELP MOVE" 
command, says the MOVE command supports multiple "source"s, but 
in fact it doesn't. The Windows Help is correct on this thing.

line command help.
