As others have suggested, you can use logical names.  You can also use
VMSMAIL.DAT even without creating accounts, e.g.,
 
       MAIL> SET FORWARD /USER=HELP MANAGER
 
You can also edit VMSMAIL.DAT with SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSHELP.EXAMPLES]MAILUAF.COM.
If you use the logical name VMSMAIL to define the location of VMSMAIL.DAT,
i.e., if VMSMAIL.DAT isn't located in SYS$SYSTEM, then you'll have to modify
MAILUAF.COM.
