I would be satisfied with a Move menu item, right next to Copy.

... but HFS_Xfer can specify a standard destination, so moving multiple
files is much quicker.
My problem is that I mostly use Executor for supporting my friends that
have Macs. I have Internet access, they don't. This means much file
moving and copying. Other than moving files, serial port support would
be the most useful for me (for PPP).
I would like to also use it to program, but most languages I've found
require System 7 or an FPU. There are a few exceptions though, some
useful. I will upload them to ftp://robot.asimov.net/pub/HFV (the HFV
archive) when I have configured them properly. Probably the best of
these is MacMETH, a Modula-2 system partly written by Wirth himself.
Sorry, but I'm not a big C fan (I'm good at it though), so I'm not
testing that language. C'est la vie...

Glad to hear it. What language/compiler do you use to make Browser?
