David Marcus:
The functionality isn't available from any other command. Moving directories around is still easier in Windows Explorer than in TCC. I'd like to be able to move directories around easily in TCC. Currently, some things can be done by REN, MOVE (using the kludge), and COPY. But, it is hard to remember which to use, what can be done, and what can't.
You claim you can use your the keyboard easier in Windows Exploer than in TCC to move directories? I doubt it! As to how you move directories around, think of what is involved - if it is on the same volume, you can use RENAME to provide it a new path; otherwise you must use MOVE - which is a command that performs twe two actions actually required: COPY to the new location, than delete the original. MOVE can also be used when RENAME would be able to do the job.
(What do people complain about?)
I do not remember any other complaints about this particular issue by anyone else.

Judging by the posts, people aren't using an alias. They are doing lots of editing of the command line. It seems it takes some work to create a robust alias.
The difficulty of creating a robust alias is not the reason I never created an alias (nor a batch program). It's because I very rarely do it. I have 1,515 aliases! Yes, there are probably well over 100 I never used...
