I used the brush tool to draw a hand. I now want to resize the little finger:



I can see the individual points if I select the path:



When I click on a point with Direct Selection tool I can edit that point.



What I can't figure out is how to select multiple points and move them as a unit.

Is that possible?

While using the Direct Selection tool, you can drag a box around multiple points to select them. Or, or use the standard shortcut for multi-select (SHIFT key to add or subtract from the selection). The selected points (and their segments) will move together when you drag or use the keyboard arrow keys to move them.

This is part of the basics of vector editing in Illustrator. You might want to check the online Help or documentation, you'll get a lot more out of working with vectors in just a little while of reading or watching online tutorials.
