this is a feature many people are hoping for.
from what I know, you can't do multiple items at a time.
For now you can only move one product at a time which is a pain in the ass.

You can in a round about way move all the Products in categories_id 69 to categories_id 65 ... in 3 steps ...
In the Categories Links Manager are settings below all the Categories ...
Go to a product in categories_id 65 and click on C for Copy then click on the Master Categories Link Manager ...
You would copy all products in categories_id 69 as Linked Products to categories_id 65 ...
Then, Reset all products in categories_id 65 to use categories_id 65 as the master_categories_id
Then, Remove all products in categories_id 65 from being Linked to categories_id 69
NOTE: for a category to show in the Master Categories Links Manager there must be at least 1 product in the Category ...
WARNING: Backup before attempting this ... you can really make a mess until you get familiar with it ...

I just went through the steps for this and it REALLY looks scary.
This is the step that I am hesitant on:
Then, Reset all products in categories_id 65 to use categories_id 65 as the master_categories_id

Backup ...
The Products need a master_categories_id as in what Category "owns" the Products for pricing purposes ...
Since you moved a gang of them, you need to reset them to the new categories_id
Or, go through and manually set them 1 by 1 ...
