You are right about the algorithm. It is as easy as you described! Basically in every frame:
1) Restore saved area
2) Move sprite to new coordinates
3) Save area under sprite
4) Draw (and optionally mask) the sprite
The implementation details will vary depending on a lot of factors (e.g. are you in graphics mode or character mode, are you using double buffering, etc. ). If you need a working example, Quadrillion has a 8x8 pixel multicolor soft sprite and the source is up.
