Moving a Block of Text 

Move text using a similar technique as copying text.  First, select a
block of text.  Then delete it and place it in the Cut/Paste buffer using
a "cut" operation.  Finally, paste it in the new location.
[REV BEG]

     Mark the line block you just added to the end of the file using the 
     Mark Line Block Start and Select Block commands.[REV END]

Once a block of text is marked, it can be moved to the Cut/Paste buffer
using the Cut To Buffer command.  The Cut To Buffer command is executed
by pressing the Cut To Buffer function key or the assigned key, C.

your file.  Complete the move operation by inserting the saved block of
text in the new location using the Paste Before or Paste After command.
