You must define the range of motion of each bone before it will move, as each bone defaults to having a zero range of motion.  Double click on the bone and update the settings in the window that appears.  Also, different mouse buttons move the bone on different axes (described in the manual).

Thank-you very much, ENSONIQ5!
Where I must do this - in the sequence or skeleton(I forgot its name) mode?
And is there anything else I am missing?

The bones' range of movement should be defined in Figure mode (I think... I haven't done it in a while!).

Animating sequence should be done in sequence mode, the name says it a bit already.
And Figure mode it's called ;).

Have a look at these tutorials about figure, bones and sequence (http://www.3d-anim8.com/tutorials/tutorial.asp) ;)
