(I think you didn't read the UG carefully.) In section 4.1 they're talking about
the
hostfile
NOT the .pvmrc, which contains commands for the pvm console. The hostfile
contains definitions for the machines. (NO add...)
if you start the console command with
pvm hostfile
the definitions will be used! You can have the same success by using the .pvmrc,
of course.

But maybe you're talking about another documentation...
