Specify the default "include" directory for files that are specified using the <filename notation and have a relative pathname. See the section called “EXAMPLES” for clarification.

DIRECTIVE TYPE AND DEFAULT VALUE

Global directive,
Catalog directive

EXAMPLES

Example: Setting ConfigDir

ConfigDir variables

Example: Setting directive value from a file

In combination with the above example, the following would read the directive value from file variables/mailorderto (relative to the CATROOT, of course).
