That should do the trick Coffee mate

If it doesn't (and I'm still earning this lark) try the following:

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
mkdir N900
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/N900/* /home/user/MyDocs/N900
HTH
/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/N900

Thanks mate,
I myself am trying to get by using the simplest of code.
I made the folder using mkdir, no problem!
when trying to copy from one location to the other via cp, it returned ''omitting directory''. strangely move via mv command worked.
