You should use the tag name for that. Something like this:
 	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -r tos-1-1-13-candidate -P tinyos-1.x
You can see the available tag names in the 'Sticky Tag' combo-box from 
here:
 	http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/tinyos-1.x/

You can also use the '-D' parameter to indicate a certain date. You can 
consult the manpage of the infopages for more details about it.

I'm sorry. I didn't notice your message there. :-( That was the proper 
place for this type of question. :P
