Click on the Create option in the toolbar and then Checkout Module to bring
up the dialog box. In order to connect to the NMS CVS repository you'll need
to have an ssh client available.After attempting several, the one available
from www.ssh.com proved simple and painless to install and get working with
CVS. Note that you need to setup the configuration to ensure CVS knows where
the SSH app is. There is documentation on this at
http://minimal.cx/wincvsssh.php under "wincvs setup".

One thing to bear in mind though is that you'll need to checkout each module
(script bundle) individually, and enter your shh password each time. Unless
anyone knows of a better way of storing your password locally?
