Revision as I left out the very beginning of the sequence:

# Cleanup by Dropping an existing named graph in your data space using:
# drop graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data>
# Create a named graph for holding your data using:
# create graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data>
# Add some data (in triple statement form) using:
# insert {graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data>  {<#doc> a foaf:Document; 
foaf:primaryTopic 
<http://kingsley.idehen.net/dataspace/person/kidehen#this> }}
# Copy the data to another named graph in the same data space using:
# copy graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> to graph 
<urn:sparql:11:qa:tests2:data>
# Move data between named graphs in the same data space using:
# move graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> to graph 
<urn:sparql:11:qa:tests3:data>
# Verify using:
# select * from <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> where {?s ?p ?o}
# no records == verified
# select * from <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests3:data> where {?s ?p ?o}
# one or more records == verified.
# Add new records to the empty graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> using:
# insert into graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> {<#kidehen> 
owl:sameAs<http://kingsley.idehen.net/dataspace/person/kidehen#this>}
# Add data from graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> to graph 
<urn:sparql:11:qa:tests3:data> using:
# add graph <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests:data> to graph 
<urn:sparql:11:qa:tests3:data>
# select * from <urn:sparql:11:qa:tests3:data> where {?s ?p ?o}
# two or more records == verified.
