I went looking for info about startup and found
Initial Options
===============
...
Some initial options affect the loading of init files. The normal
actions of Emacs are to first load `site-start.el' if it exists, then
your own init file `~/.emacs' if it exists, and finally `default.el' if
it exists; certain options prevent loading of some of these files or
substitute other files for them.
how do I find out if "in my case" all 3 files started up or any did
not.
