I really doubt people choose a "~Moved to xxx.dat" part
when browsing in LEdit! Why should they? It doesn't have
a description, so how would you know what part it is?
If people are using "~Moved to" parts, it must be because
they thought they could remember the number, or were
looking at an old list or parts reference.
I can easily change mklist. I think that "~Moved to" parts
should be ignored by default, and optionally included.
But I don't think this will reduce the problem.

BTW. All our "~Moved to" parts use a capital 'M' in "Moved".
