I tested a ONE LINE .emacs containing this:
(auto-fill-mode 1)
When I opened Emacs with no file and /or a *.log file, it was NOT in
Auto Fill Mode?
Why is that?

That command just sets auto-fill mode in the current buffer, which is
the *scratch* buffer at the time the .emacs is being executed. It
doesn't affect other buffers.
