Hi Paul,
If module is already created, please checkout the module or part of it where file has to be added and execute below commands:

cd dirname
(go to location where files have to be added up in module directory structure; make sure file to be added is copied/present here)
cvs add filename1
cvs commit -m "message1 message 2" filename1

=== done ===
