Using V8i SELECT series 3 Ver 08.11.09.459 and I cannot get SINGLE CLICK - LOCKED in user preferences LOOK and FEEL to stay locked on elements. ie to move an element more than once I have to select it before every move. Tried re-installing and tried different PC. I have read about others having this problem but have not seen any solution yet.

I have found the operation that you were requesting. It is an item in the AccuSnap Settings called "Identify Elements Automatically". This is turned on by default in all V8 versions.
> Settings > Snaps > AccuSnap
If you turn this off the operation of the Move tool will revert back to the way it worked in MicroStation /J.
Have a look at this AskInga Article on the Bentley Community Wikis as it explains in a little more detail.

I hope this information is of assistance.

but if you have a selection for a single element I have the handels disabled by default dont use the move command just hold the left mouse ie data button down and move is automatic and it stays highlighted and snaps still work...
