Well, what is now is a correct syntax.  Proposed

export ADDRESS=anonymous at common-lisp.net:/project/ecl/cvsroot

is a bash extension.  Apparently Leslie wanted to export the
variable, for which correct syntax is

ADDRESS=anonymous at common-lisp.net:/project/ecl/cvsroot
export ADDRESS

but since the variable is only used in the same shell, there
is no need to export it (in fact, exportin it just means
namespace pollution).

BTW: I use:

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous:anonymous at common-lisp.net:/project/ecl/cvsroot  co ecl

but since this does not fit into normal 80 character limit splitting
this into two parts (setting variable and using it) is reasonable.
