Yes, it's 'mv'

Did you try 'man -k move' at the command prompt? 'man' is your friend; 'man 
-k' looks up entries in the manual via a keyword. Do a 'man man' for more 
information on using this powerful command.

Also, please bookmark the Linux Documentation Project website 
(http://www.linuxdoc.org/) ; it has lots of documentation for Linux, including 
the FAQ (http://www.linuxdoc.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/index.html). Be sure to also 
check out the HOWTO and Guides links.

Good books are 'Running Linux' and 'Linux in a Nutshell', both from O'Reilly 
Books (http://www.oreilly.com/). RL is a overall guide to Linux, while LiaN is 
a quick-reference guide, sorta like the man pages in hardcopy.
