Hello
I have this line in my .emacs
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode) ;new buffers are text mode
when I start emacs, it opens up a scratch buffer in (Lisp Interaction)
in the mode line. shouldn't that be text mode since the line above is
in the .emacs.
if not, how do I get emacs to start up with text mode as default? or
should I?
thanks

thanks,
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.

If you look at the code in startup.el, you can see that user-init-file
is set to nil if ~/.emacs was not loaded, otherwise it should be the
full path to the file. Emacs respects the inhibit-default-init file,
unless it it's non-nil the default library should have been loaded.
Similarly, unless site-run-file is nil the site-start library should
have been loaded.
However it is possible that any of those files was partially loaded,
then aborted due to errors. I don't know if it's possible to detect
those cases after the fact, but if you're concerned you should start
emacs with the --debug-init option.
