I suggest MoveFile (in the Win32 API) for the actual 'move' step. Some
examples below

*-- MoveFile API - this will 'move' files and actually move directories
*-- Sample Call:
*-- MoveFile('C:\test\source\one', 'c:\test\new\one')
DECLARE INTEGER MoveFile IN WIN32API STRING @cFrom, STRING at cTo


Example call:
nX = MoveFile("C:\original\folder\place", "c:\new\folder\place")

Note: the string should *not* have a trailing backslash .D.O.T

HTH,
-Charlie
