Thanks for the quick response.  I should rephrase my question.  Yes I want 
to move a whole module back in time. I don't need to keep the changes that 
were made after that time in the repository.
One way to do it is to do this:
cvs export -D "11/15" module
cd currentproject
cvs remove *
cp ../module/* .
cvs add *
cvs commit

I just know there is a better way to do it.

So the question is:  How do I move a module back to a previous date and 
begin working on it as if I hadn't made any changes.  I want to change the 
current working version and discard all the information that might come 
after it.
