Thanks! Now CGI works. On one of the BL3 add-on sites I found a 
tar.gz-package which I installed with pkg. I start it with:
mini_httpd -C /etc/mini_httpd.conf

My mini_httpd.conf is:
dir=/www/
cgipat=cgi-bin/**

The output of env.sh was (when I connected using another computer):
GATEWAY_INTERFACE=CGI/1.1
REMOTE_ADDR=192.168.1.101
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib
QUERY_STRING=id=38&info=M%20O%20B
HTTP_USER_AGENT=Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
HTTP_HOST=192.168.1.105
SERVER_SOFTWARE=mini_httpd/1.19 19dec2003
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin
SERVER_PROTOCOL=HTTP/1.0
REQUEST_METHOD=GET
PWD=/www/cgi-bin
SERVER_PORT=80
SCRIPT_NAME=/cgi-bin/env.cgi
SERVER_NAME=BasicLinux

Using: http://192.168.1.105/cgi-bin/env.cgi?id=38&info=M%20O%20B

Great!

Now I will write some CGI shell scripts using SQLite and perhaps Yabasic 
(for diagram images if possible). I found I useful tutorial on 
<http://www.ffnn.nl/pages/articles/linux/cgi-scripting-tips-for-bash-or-sh.php> 
which I will adapt to BL3.
