Dan,
  No, the "move" atomselect subcommand only applies to the selected atoms
and has no effect on unselected atoms, or on non-atomic data, at this time.
We're debating how best to provide this functionality for volumetric data,
whether to extend the VMD atom selection language to apply to volume data,
or whether to create completely new commands for this purpose and leave the
existing atom selection language alone. There are advantages to each
approach. Likely, we'll initially provide volume manipulation commands
with some short-term framework and then replace it with something better
when some other structural changes to VMD are complete. Let me know if you
have more questions.
