Sorry, probably a really dumb question, but ... how do I make this change ?

I'm using Win XP and the command line version of cvs

My PythonCard tree has a CVS directory in each directory, which contains 
a fie called ROOT, containing a sinle line like

:ext:ale...@cv...:/cvsroot/pythoncard

If I manually edit that to say

:ext:ale...@py...:/cvsroot/pythoncard

then I can (apparently successfully) use cvs in that directory.

But there must something I can do easier than finding and editing every 
one of those files (ok, ok, it's a 10 minute programming effort to 
modify findfiles to do this, but still, there must be a simple way to do 
it in cvs, no ?

After my struggles with CVS over the last week or two (some of which 
may, or may not, have been the cvs flakiness prior to the update, and 
some of which may have been upgrade problems, and some of which is my 
lack of knowledge), I'd currently vote for a change to use anything 
rather than CVS.
