I gave you a hint to be able to learn for yourself.  Do you don't know
how to read info from Emacs?  If not, you should!  It is a vast
invaluable resource of documentation for Emacs (among other things)!

When you have a running Emacs, the following key sequence should take
you to where I was talking:

    - C-h r
    - m Init File <RET>

You could even learn how to navigate this documentation:

    - C-h i
    - d
    - m Info <RET>
    - h

This is not relevant AFAIK.

Thanks! I was not aware of all this.

Other than the .emacs and .emacs.d files, it apears that the only relevant init 
files I have are:

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.el

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el

Both are system files dated Apr 13 2023.

Thanks!
