Astro File Manager Questions

Welcome! :D

Hmm, how are you selecting the source file?
1) Long-press the file, then select Edit->Move? This should work.
2) Press Edit on the toolbar, then Move? If you have not selected a file (in multi-selection mode), the menu will still "blink" as you tap it, but because it's actually greyed out (which is a little hard to see), nothing will happen when you later select Paste (which should then also be greyed out).

Are you moving within the /sdcard directory?
1) The "/sdcard" directory represents the built-in flash memory; the "/sdcard/sd" directory represents the removable flash memory.
2) Everything outside of "/sdcard" (say, "/userdata") is read-only unless you have rooted your phone.
