C-u C-u will automatically use them for the next plain pcl-cvs command, C-u won't. BTW, you might be better using tags rather than revision numbers. Revision numbers are simply a count of how often the file has been modified. Tags record the revision numbers of each file at a given time; the revision numbers are normally totally different. The CVS online manual will explain this in greater detail. HTH, Colin S. Miller -- Replace the obvious in my email address with the first three letters of the hostname to reply.
