Oh, wow! You want to do it the lazy way? Now here's an area where I'm an expert, and so I can answer with authority! You probably have a program called `mc' (Midnight Commander) on your system. start mc, then cd to the parent directory of the subdirectory tree you want to move. Then use the arrow keys to place the cursor on the directory you want to move, then press the <F5> key. A dialog box will open, just type the full path to where you want to move the directory to and then press <Enter>, and Your done! mc will move the entire tree for you, files, subdirectories and all! You can't get much easier than that! ===
