To clarify: CVS doesn't work on isolated individual files. CVS handles projects == modules == directories. As has been mentioned, RCS handles individual files, and so Emacs suggests that. I don't think that Emacs currently provides a shortcut to create a new module in CVS at all. What would be my plan, if I wanted to do this? It's easy enough to do "cvs import" from a command line, so I first would write a small wrapper to do that, starting from a directory. When I have that, it may than be time to think about extending that so, that when I call it on a file, I get a suggestion to put the whole directory in CVS. And lastly I could work on connecting all this with the regular Emacs VC module. Just my 2 cents, benny
