> moving an icon accomplishes a MOVE, not a COPY

True -- as long as you're talking about a move on the same filesystem.  If you
slide an icon to your RAM5 volume, it does a COPY.

FYI: You IIGS developers should know about the new feature of the ProDOS 16
RENAME command.  It can be used to move a file link from one directory on the
filesystem to another.  In ECP-16 the syntax is:

        :rename /volume/file /volume/subdir/subdir/file

This moves the file by moving only it's index pointers (no data is moved). 
The effect is that you can move a 300 block file across your disk to some
other area in about a second or less.
