I'm not sure what you're looking for. If you want to be able to specify 
a particular *exit* in the address bar, check out the AllowDotExit entry 
in the manual. Picking a particular *entry* node, as far as I know, 
would require you to use the Bridge and UseBridges entries in your 
torrc, which isn't nearly as flexible.
