Have you been able to locate the problem ? A little more exercising the interface, while not extensively, makes it look like I've been hitting a bug in the command parser - probably not limited to the "move" command : the bug seems to happen only when the command letter ("m" in this case) is immediately followed by the argument without intervening "blank". Then the move is (sometimes?) not effected and yet no error signaled! Either flag the absence of a blank after a command "verb" as an error - but it is valid syntax in both MSDOS debug/DRDOS sid - or ensure that the arguments are still parsed properly.
