File_Move (srcPath, destPath)

Result Type:  numeric error code; 0 on success, non-zero on failure

Definition:  This function operates on closed files (it will work on open files on Mac, but not on Windows, as per those OS's conventions). The file at srcPath is renamed (moved) to destPath. Returns 0 on success or non-zero to indicate failure.

The paths must be in script-accessible ("safe") locations. Additional safe locations can be specified by the user in their application preferences.

If the destPath is blank (empty string), the function will present a Save As dialog, with which the user may choose a destination path anywhere.

Files may be moved across volumes.

Availability:  available within MWScript handlers.
