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.
