Garmin \'Trip and Waypoint Manager\' - moving waypoints???

Doubt I'll use this much as I have got the GPS 60 as a back-up for the on board plotter. However, playing around with the new toy, as one does, I tried out the free Waypoint Manager that came with it. All seems fine except moving waypoints. The instructions say to point to the Selection Tool, right click the waypoint and then select Move. When I right click, firstly the label of the waypoint comes up and, when other options do come up, Move is not one of them???? Is it me or is it just junk software?

In my waypoint manager after choosing selection tool you right click on the waypoint, the first choice shown is 'moving waypoints'. Select it and you can move it to a new position. The label you talk about is shown automatically when you touch the waypoint with your mouse cursor.

Thanks. This might sound strange - how are you accessing Waypoint Manager? I have a feeling some aspects of this aren't working at all?

Not sure what you mean - I just start it, open the needed waypoint file (you may begin with clicking that - mapsource opens automatically). I can by selecting the selection tool easily make all kinds of alterations. I have some trouble with the GPS itself (it doesn't work with some navigational software), but the waypoint manager is certainly simple and effective.
