There are two ways to do this, depending on exactly HOW you want to do this.

If all you want to do is EXPLORE a particular opening, then you can open the
"Coach" window (CTRL+C), and in the "Advice" tab each legal move that is
designated with a named opening will be displayed as such. In that way, you can
see all of the moves for a particular opening in the given position.

If you want to PLAY a particular opening against a computer opponent, then you
can either create an opening book from games of that opening, or just go to
chessmaster8000.ubi.com/downloads.html, and at the bottom of the page there will
be a "New Chessmaster Opening Books". All of these books will work in any
version of Chessmaster after CM5000. Just create a personality that uses any one
of these books.
