You may want to have a look at a help script I wrote to make a

The script is included in the folder 'contrib' in the MHonArc distribution file.

I am attempting to setup your script, and am unclear about the
following three items. Your help is appreciated.

## Path to mbox file
$mbox = $mhonarc.'/mbox/demo';

## Path to resource file
$mrc = $mhonarc.'/demo.mrc';

## Full URL to main index file
$indexURL = 'http://www.gunnar.cc/mhonarc/demo/maillist.html';

Unclear? In what way? I take for granted that you understand that the
original settings are examples.

Is it maybe the concatenation that confuses you? The starting-point
for some of the configuration variables is:

    ## Path to MHonArc program directory
    $mhonarc = '/www/htdocs/gunnar/cgi-bin/mhonarc';

That presupposes that the path to the program is:

    /www/htdocs/gunnar/cgi-bin/mhonarc

So, this example setting:

    ## Path to mbox file
    $mbox = $mhonarc.'/mbox/demo';

suggests the creation of a subdirectory to the program directory:

    /www/htdocs/gunnar/cgi-bin/mhonarc/mbox

and the creation of an (empty) file in that directory named 'demo'.

I don't know what else to say. You need to be much more specific about what it is you are "unclear" about.
