moving items using command line, starting from top right

I use the command line a lot more than most people because my dexterity is awful.
Instead of starting more or less in the middle of the drawing area, I started in the top right. I know how to move stuff just with the command line, but this only seems to work from 0,0 [bottom left] up and or left across the map. Is there a way to work in the negative, [e.g move from 664,44 downwards to 7o,44]? I tried moving it with negative numbers but CC33+ told me it didnt know what I was trying to do.

The move command is MOV.
Is that what you needed?
yes and no. If you refresh this thread you will see a lot more detail in my OP
CC3+ should handle negative numbers just fine, just make sure there isn't an extra space between the minus sign and the number.
Also keep in mind that you have two options when typing coordinates.
Either you type the destination coordinates outright (112,45 or 112,-45 etc.), and in that case you don't use negative numbers since all the coordinates in the map are positive (except some special templates)
Or, you use the relative coordinates for a relative movement from the move origin, in which case you prefix with @ and negative numbers means downwards and leftwards (ex @10,20 or @-10,20 or @-10,-20 etc.)
I tried negatives [without spaces before the numbers] but they didnt work. Hey-ho I'll try again tomorrow.
