"Name" is a descriptive name for the server. "CVSROOT" is the equivilant of the CVSROOT enivomental varible or the "-d" option in CVS. An example of a CVSROOT is "". "Working dir" is the directory associated for working with the server.

## The Preferences Dialog

FIXME: describe prefs dialog.

The editor should contain the command needed to execute an editor that has it's own window. Good examples are "gvim -f" (the -f is very important), "gedit", "nedit", and of course "emacs". You could also try to use this area to lanuch a xterm with an editor running in it.
