 It's not a stupid question :-) I just added the following to the
CVS page.

<P><B>CVS Newbies</B>
<P>The CVS home page is at <a 
href=http://www.cvshome.org/>http://www.cvshome.o\rg/</a>
and you will be interested by the <a 
href=http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cv\s_17.html#SEC153>Quick reference to 
CVS commands</a>. Using CVS is not complex
but you have to understand what is going on. The best way to start is to ask
a friend to show you the way.

  In your case I would do the following

  export CVS_RSH=ssh
  cd gst-manual
  cvs -d subversions.gnu.org:/webcvs import -m 'gst manual' 
software/smalltalk/gst-manual gnu gst-manual-2-3-0

  And that's it. Well, you'll have to read the documentation to figure
out how all this actually works but I really recommend speaking to a friend.

    Cheers,
