Purpose: MOVE moves a line or range of lines to a different location. MOVE deletes the lines from the original location and moves them to the specified position. If necessary, MOVE adjusts the line numbers of the current lines to make room for the inserted lines.
M/OVE/ line1 [:line2] TO line3
|
line1 |
is the line to be moved, or the first line in a line range to be moved. |
|
line2 |
is the last line in a range of lines to be moved. |
|
TO line3 |
specifies the line at which the lines are to be inserted. A comma (,) can be used instead of TO. If line3 is an already existing line number, the moved text will be inserted after that line number. If line3 references a non-existing line number, the moved text will be inserted at the newly created line number. |

NOTES: MOVE renumbers the lines, incrementing them by one, so that the sequence of line numbers is in ascending order where they are inserted. If necessary, MOVE changes numbers of following lines, incrementing them by one, until there is room for all intervening lines to have ascending numbers.
