Can't see how to install, say, examplemodule-2.x-rc1 using Drush.

Currently "drush dl examplemodule" will give me examplemodule-1.3 (stable, boring) or I can opt to go for CVS.

Does the dl command support installing the latest -dev release of a specific module, or the latest 2.x release? Or must I choose between dl for stable and CVS for bleeding-edge?

Specifics above are examples only.

I think the issue here is that examplemodule-2.x-rc1 is not a valid release number - you can have either examplemodule-2.0-rc1 (which is the release candidate for the 2.0 stable version) or examplemodule-2.x-dev (which is the 2.x development branch) and both of these should work. You should also be able to use either wget or CVS for either of these.

Apologies Owen - I tried to avoid confusion by not giving a specific example, but unknowingly created confusion by giving an impossible example instead :)

The solution for me (with a concrete example this time) is, say for Organic Groups (module name "og"):

drush dl og-6.x-2.0-rc1

Thanks for answering my question promptly.

Please provide documentation that this cannot be used to directly (download and) enable the module.

drush en module-7.x-1.x-dev doesn't work

It will return:

You must specify a project name to display the release history of.     [warning]
There were no extensions that could be enabled.                             [ok]

While drush en module will download and enable automatically (the latest stable release),
with versions (and dev) you have to dl [module]-[version] and then en [module]
