Hi Ray, MoveAddict is a utility application that, once installed, runs in the background and simply supports functionality that allows one to cut and paste files within the Finder. Normally, files are copied and pasted, then the original is deleted. A sighted user can simply drag a file to move it but, until drag & drop is implemented successfully, the only option for VoiceOver users is to copy and paste. Now, with MoveAddict, it's possible to simply cut and paste.
