I am still confused. I tried the resource file way to define a custom

$LIST-NAME1$, $LIST-NAME2$ and etc. How do I test what which list it is
processing right now, so that the resource file will only pick $LIST-NAME1
instead of $LIST-NAME2. I just want to have one general resource file for
all lists archives.
Using a resource file to define these variables will not work. You
need to define the variable on the command-line and only reference it
in your resource file. For example:
mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=mylist' -rcfile myrc.mrc mylist.mbx
In myrc.mrc, you use $LIST-NAME$.
You will need to give a different -definevar setting for each
list input you are archiving. For example, if I have list called
"anotherlist", I would invoke mhonarc as follows:
mhonarc -definevar 'LIST-NAME=anotherlist' -rcfile myrc.mrc anotherlist.mbx
If you are still confused, better help may be offered if you provide
exactly how you call mhonarc for the various lists you archive.
