Set up this script to run every 5 or 10 minutes as you wish:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for mFile in `find ./*memo*txt ! -newer Flag_File`
do
  mv ${mFile} New_Directory
done
touch Flag_File

Good idea, I'd modify it just slightly to avoid the dangerous useless use of backticks and make sure Flag_File already exists.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

[ -f Flag_File ] &&
  find ./*memo*txt ! -newer Flag_File |
  while read mFile
  do
    mv ${mFile} New_Directory
  done

touch Flag_File
