Hi,
  These are both covered in the VMD User's guide in the section about
atom selections:
  http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/current/ug/node176.html#12947

You want to do something like this:
  set sel [atomselect top "all"]
  $sel moveby {3 3 2}
  $sel writepdb mynew.pdb
  $sel delete

Dig into the User's Guide text about the atomselect command,
that's where a lot of the action is.

  John
