To find the realmlist go to the \Data\enUS directory in your world of warcraft folder and click on the realmlist.wtf file. That is where the realmlist is at, although modifying this without knowing what you are doing can be bad.

Can a directory be called a file?
Yes. A directory can be called a file and, in most implementations, under the wraps, it is a file, but it is not a file that an ordinary user can access. It is the responsibility of the file system code in the operating system. Unless you are writing code that manages file systems, it is best to think of a directory as a directory and to use the API provided to access it.
What is a multi-level directory system?
A directory is a logical grouping of files. By maintaining several directories the file manager can permit the same file name to be used in separate directories to refer to independent copies of the same file or completely different files. The contents of a directory - a list of file names and their associated information - are stored in a special file called a directory file which is assigned a file name which distinguishes it from non-directory files. By allowing directory file names to appear alongside non-directory file names in a directory, the file manager is able to link separate directories hierarchically as shown in figure 1. The directory at the top of the structure is given the special name, ROOT because the hierarchical structure resembles an upside-down tree. The directories below the root directory are known as subdirectories. by earnie
