It's possible you don't have one. XEmacs does not need an init file
to function.
To find (or possibly create) the init.el file that XEmacs will try to
load at start up, choose Edit Init File from the Options menu. To see
a sample init.el (especially relevant to Windows, but there are many
cross-platform goodies as well), choose Samples from the Help menu,
then Sample init File from the popup submenu.

Just save the file chosen by Edit Init File with C-x C-s in the usual
way. There's a function called `find-user-init-file' which is used by
both the startup routine and Edit Init File to find that file, so it's
almost guaranteed to be the right one. (And if it isn't, please
report it as a bug. It's very important for this to work right!)

C-x 5 : split-window-horizontally

Dear Xemacs User, I am an old emacs user... perhaps it is an xemacs thing, but it used to be that C-x 5 used to split the window horizontally... doesnt do it for me in xemacs. Is that by design ? I am planning to put the binding in my init.el file but don't want to mess up something in case it wasnt there for a good reason. Thanks, Tolga

C-x 5 is a prefix key, with frame (ie, GUI window) bindings---create a
frame, find file in new frame, switch to buffer in other frame, etc.
C-x 5 C-h will give a list.
C-x 3 will split the window horizontally (ie, into side-by-side
windows).
Note that the frame creating functions work even on a TTY; you can
create several complex window formats (eg, a mail reader screen, or an
ediff screen) and switch among them with C-x 5 functions. Think of it
as if you had a window system but all frames must be full-screen. You
see and type into the one on top.
GNU Emacs lagged many years in providing this technology, so their
bindings may differ substantially.

Preventing xemacs from playing around with it's window in Windows

Dear Xemacs users, When I start-up xemacs and maximise the window under Windows XP, xemacs resizes and moves the window around when I start using it. This is raelly annoying as xemacs usually places the window slightly outside the screen and I have to keep on moving it back to center. And it wont staymaximised. Is there a way of preventing this from happening ? I am using xemacs 21.5.20 and Windows XP. Thanks, Tolga

I've seen this kind of bug reported elsewhere (it definitely is a
bug). I don't do Windows, so I don't recall the exact versions
affected or the resolution. However, I also haven't heard of it
recently, so perhaps it has been fixed in more recent versions of
XEmacs.
If you upgrade and continue to suffer, please send a bug report using
M-x report-xemacs-bug RET, or use the item in the pulldown Help menu.

I am not familiar with that distribution.
We don't recommend or deprecate any distribution (not even our own).
There are some Linux distributions whose XEmacs packages have been
tuned for the distribution, and we do not recommend building from our
sources on those systems, because they will not have the same "look
and feel" as those distributed by that vendor. Currently Mandriva may
fall into this class, although I haven't actually checked that there
is an issue in many months. (Note: this isn't a bug either way, it's
a difference of opinion about defaults. And a possible surprise for
those who are adventurous enough to build their own, but not *that*
adventurous.)
Other than that, we simply recommend that users get the most recent
versions possible. On Linux, Debian, Red Hat, SuSE/Novell, and
Mandriva are all known to keep up with our "stable" releases, and most
also have packages of our "beta test" series. FreeBSD, NetBSD, and
OpenBSD all have XEmacs ports, but I don't know how fresh they keep
them. The FreeBSD maintainer is a regular contributor of bug reports
and FreeBSD-related patches, though. On Mac, both Fink and
DarwinPorts are reasonably up-to-date. On Windows, the Cygwin
distribution is up-to-date, and they also supply a version of the
"beta test" series. Cygwin is compiled with GCC. We also supply a
version of the stable series compiled with Visual C, which is
