It is not all to clear what you mean, "enter a name into a command"
It looks to me if you mean how do i move more than one file at a time, if
that is correct then what you are doing should work no problem.

No, the command 'mv' should move the files called spacey and test.doc to a
directory called www.
If you wish to copy both files into one called www, do;
cat spacey >> text.doc
cat text.doc >> www

Then that sounds like you want to 'cp' (copy) files not 'mv' (move) the
move command used as above will delete the files from the source drive.
