> cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/abook login
> When you are asked for a password just hit enter.
> You should be returned to your shell prompt with no comment as I recall.
> If you get a complaint from your cvs installation about no .cvspass file

> patch <abook-cursor.patch
