Hi,
  Use the "moveby" subcommand of atomselect...
There are various examples of how to use atomselect to perform translations,
transformations, etc in the VMD User's Guide.

I want to know, if there is any other text command using which I can move the molecule to a new loaction (if possible copy the present molecule and paste it at a new location). But I want to give the amount by which I want to move it .. like "move rep by 15 A in y-direction". Something similar to that.
