Something is just not clicking in my noggin. It seems to me that all you would
want to replace would be the filename.
Are you saying that the mover should grab the _entire_ line:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 5678.dat
from the ~Moved to file, and paste that entire line in place of the reference
to 1234.dat in the model?
But if that is what you propose, it would screw things up. If my model has a
line like:
1 0 234 16 -46 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1234.dat
I would not want that line to be changed to:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 5678.dat
Now tell me what I am misunderstanding.

AFAIK, it should be true. That is the standard call to use in a ~Moved to
file. I don't see any reason to alter it.

There shouldn't be any effect. I think.
The hard-coded part _should_ just be a shortcut file that calls the basic
piece. If the number of the basic piece changes, then the hard-coded shortcut
_should_ get updated as well. But even if it is missed, it should still point
to the ~Moved to file, which would still work.
