Thank you, Jan.
Works fine except for one thing.

But when I run it from the command line, the window opens & shows the
start of the history.
Any idea how to get it in the same way as explorer?

One thing I noticed was before the history window opens, it runs a cvs
log filename.
In the explorer case, it's run as cvs -f log filename. In my case it's
run as cvs log filename
without the -f option. But I don't think this should make a difference.
