Still no joy. But I'm still not sure I got it right. All of the
examples seem to demonstrate routing a particular network through a
particular interface. I only have one interface on this machine; what
I wish to do is specify a particular gateway for use for a particular
address. I tried:

any: net NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN netmask 255.255.255.255 gateway 192.168.0.3

as a guess, but nothing changed. Nothing in any log that I could find
seemed to indicate whether NetworkManager was even trying to read this
file.
