[QUOTE="toMACsh, post: 1141883, member: 112842"] Well, the end result of Move is the same as Cut and Paste. But yeah, it either Moves or Copies, as explained above. When it's going to Copy, a green circle with a + sign in it appears. When it's going to Move, it just does it. If that isn't what you wanted, you have to drag it back. You can force it to Copy to a folder on the same volume, by holding down the right key. (It's either Command or Option. I'm not at a Mac, and can't rely on my memory!) The same trick works to force it to Move when the default behavior is Copy. [/QUOTE]
