I recommend you to peek at sample commented configs here
http://elfy.nv.googlepages.com/
They won't let you go without reading docs but they may save you from
making some mistakes.

 MS> Route normal 2:5020/828.0 *

For a single aka point config you may use 'boss' keyword here. And a
wildcard for all addresses may be ok for a point.

But in general it may be better to have route set up this way

Don't route mail to zone adresses
route no-pack *:0/*

Normal direct route to my own points (for nodes)
route normal noroute 2:5030/9999.*

All other fidonet mail is routed to boss (for points)
route normal boss 1:* 2:* 3:* 4:* 5:* 6:*

Don't pack junk to nonexistent zones 0:, 32767:, etc.
route no-pack *

no-pack will leave mail untouched, so if you made muistake in address
you'll see that netmail is unsent, Or if later you find out that you can
route mail to some other zones too, you just add new route and run hpt
again.

 MS> and last question regarding binkd.cfg

 MS> now I have

 MS> domain fidonet \\home\\fido\\outbound  2
 MS> domain fidonet /home/fido/outbound 2

 MS> in both parts.

I think it's better to have it substituted with zone of specific system

 MS> Could I set this as:

 MS> domain fidonet \\home\\fido\\outbound  *
 MS> domain fidonet /home/fido/outbound *

 MS> ?

No. It's /default/ zone, the zone to which mail in this folder is routed.
For other zones there will be outbound.### folders.

 MS> domain fidonet /home/fido/outbound $VAR_ZONE
 MS> domain fidonet \\home\\fido\\outbound  $VAR_ZON

yup
