One question regarding the robots.txt file

In my particular instance where the sitemap is to all intensive purposes for the search engines in the root directory so that the sitemap starts from the homepage and not the directory http://www.examplesite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

Do I add the line of code at the bottom of the robots.txt file to read:

Sitemap: http://www.examplesite.com/sitemap_index.xml.gz

To anyone wondering why I wish to add the sitemap position in the robots.txt file, this is a way to tell the search engines where the sitemap is if you have one.
