The Web Host Manager interface seems to define the term differently. 
Under the heading "Park a domain", I can set it so that one domain 
points to another.

While this is confusing with regards to terminology, it is the hoped for 
behavior, with the caveat that it still shows the aliased domain in the 
browser's URL field, and not the domain that you ended up at.

However it seems that to get the browser to both go to the desired 
domain, and show the desired domain in the URL field requires actually 
setting up web sites with HTML or .htaccess redirects. That's more than 
I want to do for the moment, so "parking" will have to do.

Thanks for the advice.
