After the first "cvs co" you just go to the "emacs" subdir created and say "cvs update -dP" there and Bob's your uncle. Some people have lots of shell aliases which change CVSROOT, but that's mostly unnecessary! It's only necessary to specify "-d" once when doing the intial checkout, after that, just change to the right directory. Kai
