? Move Command, 2 or more files

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I'm trying to move multiple files with the move command in XP

Here's the syntax:
To move one or more files:
MOVE [/Y | /-Y] [drive:][path]filename1[,...] destination

This tells me I can specify a list of filenames separated with a ,

but when I enter this command:
move file1,file2 c:\destdir

it says the syntax is incorrect

if I type this:
move file1 c:\destdir

then everything is fine

Thanks
