Hi
Yes - RCS is (IMHO) the best way to do it, but you need to use the rcs
latex package.
In your preamble add this:
\usepackage{rcs}
\RCS $Header$
\RCS $Date$
\RCS $Revision$
then later on in your document, you can add this (in ERT):
Revision: \RCSRevision
Date of last revision: \RCSDate
You can add it to your footer in the preamble as follows:
\lfoot{Revision: \RCSRevision}
\rfoot{\RCSDate}

PS: Don't forget to check your document in so that you get some
sensible values !!
