* Not processing my .emacs file?

I'm working with XEmacs 20.4 on a Solaris box.  As far as I can tell, 
it's not reading my .emacs file.  None of the customizations I have in 
there seem to be taking effect.  I put in '(message "hello")', which it 
ignored.  I even put in some deliberate syntax errors, to no effect.

What might be keeping it from reading my .emacs file?

Could it be that XEmacs prefers ~/.xemacs/init.el over ~/.emacs if you have 
both?

P.S. followup to c.e.xemacs

Type C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET -- that should be the file that XEmacs
reads.

A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
