[comp.mail.elm] pathalias

ELM 2.2:
The Alias User guide tells me all about the Hostname Routing Database
and how it can map 'user@hostname' to 'path-to-host!hostname!user'.
This sounds just what I need for my system which is a satellite of
our mail-routing switch.
It says that mappings must be stored
      "in a file pointed to by *pathfile* ..."
What does this mean? I tried defining and exporting an evironment
variable of that name. I looked for a global config file which
might contain this as a parameter. I think I've looked at most of the
manual pages.
