Relocating a webpage without upsetting Google crawler

    So I have a webpage that has a PR3 backlink to it that I need to move into a different directory in my site.

    1. How can I gracefully move the webpage without upsetting Google's crawler?

    2. Will I loose that PR backlink?

    3. Should I put up a page redirect script on the old page or does Google not like this?

    I looked thru Google's webmaster guidelines but couldn't find the answer.

    Any help appreciated and if you can even provide a source url (blog, faq, etc.) for the info you give that would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Steve!
