How to move a window with Speech Recognition?

I know how to switch between windows, maximize windows, minimize
windows or close windows. But how can I move a window? I said "Move
window" but it didn't work. Then I tried to walk around by dragging
the title bar, but I don't know how to drag either. The only things
listed in the documentation were left click or right click.

How to...
1) move a window?
2) drag?

When you say: "Move a window" the system must know where to. In essence if
must know the endpoint of the coordinates of the upper left corner of the
window. It is a pair of X and Y coordinates in screen pixels.

It seems you expect Vista to work like some characters in Wizard of Oz where
things happen by magic.

What a pleasant answer.

you click and hold down with the left mouse button the title bar of the
window that is not maximized and you drag your mouse to the new location,
then you release the mouse button

the title bar is the very top part of a window that has the "title" or name
of the window on it.

another trick is to right click on the taskbar button and select move, then
press one of the arrow keys of your keyboard, MAGICALLY you will see that
it has attached itself to your mouse cursor (even if the window is not on
your main screen) and you can place it anywhere you want.

Dont listen to AlexB that there is no Magic, he is just the Idiot troll in
here.

For example, when you move your mouse pointer with Speech Recogition,
you don't say
mouse click 100,200. You just say, "mouse click" (or mouse grid") and
then choose
the "end point" by continuously selecting regions. I kind of expected
the same thing since
moving windows is very common in Windows. That's why I tried to say
"move window" or "move".

Thank you for your answer. But I know how to move windows with mouse.
I wanted to know
how to move a window with Vista's built-in Speech Recognition. Since
"Maximize, Restore,
Minimize, Switch to.." work, I thought there would be a special
command for moving windows.

Thanks. So there is no special command for moving windows, right?
