Notes: The move command can move a class:

a) from one catalog to another;

b) from a catalog to a singleton;

c) from singleton to application catalog class.

The move command can be used to rename a class within a catalog or the application package.

A singleton assembly (an assembly class in the application package) cannot be moved to a catalog if any of its subordinates is a singleton. This is because having a singleton subordinate would prevent the instantiation of such class.

Also, moving a class will not automatically change the .class attribute of subordinates using this class - this needs to be done manually in all affected assemblies.
