It's still not clear how what you are asking now is different that what 
you asked the first time. There are three ways to add commit messages 
when you commit changes; these are described in the 'cvs commit' manual 
section I sent you above:

1. Type it in manually when the cvs commit command prompts you for it.
2. Pass it on the command line with the '-m "message"' option.
3. Put it in a file, and pass the file with the '-F file' option.

There is a way to add a message after the commit, but it is not for 
people unfamiliar with repository administration. See the '-m rev:msg' 
option here:

If you are asking how to set up a standard template for you log messages 
see this:
