Hello, Again :)
I made a mistake in my original post on this subject.  The line that
reads:
"Logging in to :pserver:anonymous at cvs.crosswire.org:2401/cvs/core/sword 
CVS password:"

should read:
"Logging in to :pserver:anonymous at cvs.crosswire.org:2401/cvs/core/
CVS password:"

I am still not able to checkout Sword from CVS.  I tried to find a way
to browse the CVS repository, to find out if perhaps something was wrong
in the instructions on Crosswire.org.  SInce I am still not able to get
Sword from CVS, your help is greatly appreciated :)
