Hmmm. It may be GUI-enough for my purposes.
http://midnight-commander.org/ describes it as "GNU Midnight Commander 
is a visual file manager...".
Section 3 - Mouse of http://midnight-commander.org/wiki/doc/faq hints 
that it may perhaps have enough mouse functionality (enough qualifiers ;).

Also your phraseology joggled my thought process. Perhaps "file manager" 
hints at much more power than I  need. I only wish to _move_ files. 
Which got me thinking that Tcl/Tk may be appropriate. I'll experiment 
with mc first.

Thank you.
