Hi Malcolm, You can try downloading TortoiseCVS (http://www.tortoisecvs.org/download.shtml) which should make basic cvs work painless. It provides shell integration and an intuitive gui for checkouts and updates. If you look at the user's guide (http://www.tortoisecvs.org/UserGuide_en.chm) "Checking out a Module" and the NAnt cvs information on the project page (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=31650) it should get you up and running fairly quickly.
You will have read only access to the NAnt repository with the anonymous user which is not optimal if you are doing frequent updates but you should be able to generate patch files and submit them to the list. If your updates are frequent enough it might be worthwhile to get committer access. Hope that helps.
