I believe the way you are using VSS is using the lock-modify-unlock model for source control. Subversion uses a different model, the copy-modify-merge model. We used VSS prior to moving to SVN, and some of the decision makers had concerns with switching to a model where multiple developers had the ability to modify the same code. Since we have moved to SVN and embraced its model, we have seen dramatic increases in productivity as well as code stability. We have over 15,000,000 lines of code in our application, and the only times conflicts occur is when people are working on the same area of the application and making conflicting changes (which usually means a lack of communication somewhere). If you are set on attempting to use the lock-modify-unlock model, you can access information on it at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.2/svn.advanced.locking.html (though I *highly* recommend NOT using that model).
We have a quite a few developers on our team that choose to use Dreamweaver as their IDE. There are a few software solutions that allow direct SVN manipulation from within DW, but are all purchased components. Instead of using these 3rd party components, we have all developers (not using Eclipse) to use TortoiseSVN and use windows explorer integration to perform all SVN operations.
