Simple Usage of CVS


Hello everyone,
I have just started learning how to use CVS at work and I have 2 questions. I know how to add and commit but how do I edit a log file? Is it like:

"cvs edit <filename>?"

Also, everytime you commit a file of the same name (but different builds) CVS marks it as something like this:

Revision 1.1.3
-----------------------
BLAH BLAH
----------------------

Revision 1.1.2
--------------------
BLAH BLAH
----------------------

So lets say my boss wants me to grab the files of Revision 1.1.2. How would I grab (download) those file(s) to my windows PC? The machine that has CVS is a linux machine. Thank you very much!
