[Gimp-user] How do I move a selection?

[MrMag00 <forums gimpusers com>]

I viewed a few tutorials on how to move a selection around in an image but none
of them explained things enough for me so I could actually move the selection
I'm working with!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the tutorial, 

I selected the object I wanted to work with, with the Rectangular Selection
Tool.

Then, "Cut."

"Paste as"............"New layer."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, first, the object disappeared when I CUT it.
But then when I went "Past as"... "New layer," nothing happened.  The selected
object didn't appear the way it was shown in the tutorial!  So, (of course), I
couldn't do anything further.  :(

Can anyone tell me what's going on here?
