I'm not sure what it is you don't understand here. Do you not understand
how to edit the file? Do you not understand how to *find* the file? Do
you not even realize that "main/CVS/Entries" *is* a file? Or is it
something else?

I really thought that the explanation given (in fact, even the
explanation you've given in your own question) was foolproof enough...
