Many thanks to those that responded to my question. The two answers I
have been told are:

1)   Instead of 'sh mover', try '. mover' (if you're using sh or ksh) or
     'source mover' (if you're using csh).

2)   If you are running a shell which supports aliasing, you can:

     alias mover="cp *.me /usr/tmp;cd /usr/tmp"
