Then go and buy a real copy from Superior who are still selling it, along with 
loads of other *original* Beeb games.

Probably (and I'm guessing here) moves a loaded file down in memory. 
 
As the DFS takes up a chunk of memory which then isn't needed once a game is 
loaded it's possible to load a game above the DFS workspace in memory then 
move it down over DFS's workspace.  The memory then released by moving the 
program down will then be used by the screen.  It's just a juggling trick to 
use as much available RAM as possible.
