DW to CPS: How to?

Question

Hi, my understanding about CPS is that it provides some level
of document management capability including maintaining a revision
history, rollback capabilities and user management. What I would
like to do is have my designers use Dreamweaver CS3 and connect to
CPS for that type of functionality.
Is there some type of how-to or tutorial that shows how to do
this? I setup both DW, Contribute and CPS but I don't see a way for
DW to checkout files from a website that I've connected to via
Contribute & CPS. Yes, I did enable Contribute compatibility in
DW but the dialog shows:
Rollback enabled: currently off
CPS enabled: currently off
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think that's possible. The way (as I understand it)
that Contribute works with the CPS is that each action in
Contribute sends out an event notification. The CPS performs
whatever actions you've got it set up for based on the events it
receives. For example, it gets a publish event, so it saves a
rollback version. Although Dreamweaver is a companion to
Contribute, I don't think it sends out events. Or if it does, the
CPS isn't configured to "listen" to Dreamweaver, just to
Contribute.
But I just have a very, very basic understanding of the inner
workings. Maybe someone else knows of a way to make Dreamweaver and
CPS talk to each other like Contribute and CPS do.
