Have you tried Edit Selection Set? (ctrl-shift-T or the little selection/hammer icon next to the layer in the Info Box or in the Edit Menu)

Karl...
That works pretty well, thank you (the selection set method). Now is there a way to activate a move command to a layer, giving me the ability to just start picking objects and they move there dynamically?

Select, ctrl-shift-T, pick-layer, OK isn't that bad, as often as one needs to do this kind of thing IMHO, and assuming one's layer list is short. (In my experience, I've only had to do this once for one model that someone messed up. Normally, I never need to move elements to different layers, or if I do, a marquee+ Find&Select does what I need.)
