There all config files will be stored that are used by AfterStep. They are 
loaded on next start. E.g. is you copy a new look file directly into this
directory, name it 0_look.yourcolordepth AS will come up with that look 
next time you start it. 

It's not in the FAQ because you won't need it if everything works correct.

In 5.1 it was called ~/.Xclients if you mean that you just can build your
own. This file is doing the same as .xinitrc. I deleted it and use a
simplified one.
