This is power-hungry, but consider

	[$ | %] exec mover

at the command line, where mover contains

	mv files* dir
	cd dir
	exec $SHELL

Of course, arguments can be added as appropriate.
The only problem I've found so far is that you can't
run login in csh as '% login <user>' after running 
mover.		Tom. (orchid@deneb.ucdavis.edu.UUCP)
