In another thread I was link to this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox#Configuration

But I couldn't make any sense of it. I have tried typing in "rc.xml", "~/.config/openbox/rc.xml", "cp -R /etc/xdg/openbox ~/.config/" amongst other things and sometimes I get "permission denied", sometimes I get nothing at all etc.

I think you need a primer on UNIX commands. If you don't understand the basics of what you are doing, then you need a foundation. Please take some time to do some basic tutorials on this stuff. I quickly searched for this one. Seems promising.

You can read (and try by yourself!) the first sections ("INTRODUCTION", "BASICS" and "COMMANDS") of http://flossmanuals.net/command-line/ too.

Just skip the "STANDARD FILES" subsection of "COMMANDS": it is definitely advanced material.
