You do not need to explicitly cd from the console if you're using WinCvs (it
might not even work IIRC). Just select the directory you want in the tree
view and then start typing in the console. As for the error message, read
below.

But the repository machine is running a CVS service, isn't it? You need a
CVSNT server _running_ somewhere if you want to use the :ntserver: protocol.
In any case, the repository should always be on the same machine where the
server service is running (if you're using :local: that means, the
repository has to be on the same machine as the client), otherwise you're
heading for disaster (e.g. repository corruption).
Maybe you should quote your full CVSROOT string for clarification.

OK, as I said. Full pathnames are only allowed in :local: mode.

Obviously you switched the WinCvs shell to Python. To execute commands from
the WinCvs console you need to use the TCL shell. Choose Edit|Shell>TCL and
try again. If you haven't got TCL installed, you will have to run your
commands from a "real" command prompt (e.g. DOS-box).
Hope this helps.
