For version control, I recommend vc-dired instead of dired.

Then, it should be sufficient to say `v v', after marking the files. But why don't you use PCL-CVS? You mention it in the subject line of your posting. Type M-x cvs-update RET /path/to/working/directory RET. The command `C' will commit the file/directory under point, even recursively, so it is sufficient to hit `C' on the top-level directory in the *cvs* buffer. It also snarfs ChangeLog entries for use as commit messages (unlike `c' which doesn't do that). -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
