First, sorry for not subscribing to and using the Tools forum. That's where
I'll take my next CW question, I promise :)

I'm still not sure how to "check out the whole project," which is fine in
my application of CVS (to track revisions, and share my own code between
machines, rather than between programmers)
Say I have a machine with Code Warrior on it, and no CW projects. I want
to check out everything in the repository that is in the project. This
would include the .mcp file, and the contents of the Src and Rsc
directories at minimum.
I am stumped as to how to get it.
Can you provide a slightly more detailed hint?
Thanks,

PS: I also have access to CVS.EXE, which can be used at the command line,
and which works for getting and returning my source, so maybe that's the
only way?
