As described in the DEFRCFILE resource, which you already mentioned
in a previous message:

The pathname you give is just the directory portion.  The full pathname
would be:

  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/.mhonarc.mrc

Or, it looks in the home directory of the process running mhonarc
for a file called .mhonarc.mrc.

This is a function of your operating environment.  Since it appears
you are using a Unix-type system, check the manpage for the shell
you are using.

BTW, you probably do not need to mess with environmental variables
since you should be able to use mhonarc resource files or command-line
options to get the resource settings you desire.
