hi

i thought i saw some pictures with VIM have split windows vertically.
but i cannot find the command to do this. i can do it horizontally
though.

was it a figment of my imagination? if not, how do i do it?

riyaz.

This feature will be avalaible in vim 6 with the command vsplit.
If you really need it, you could try running the newest alpha
version of vim (Vim-6.0af) on your own risk.

That's a vim 6 feature (not stable yet).

this is a feature supported by the version of vim i use(gvim). Try:

:split "filename"

the filename specified will be on the bottom, and the one already open will
be on the top. If this does not work for you, get the latest version!

Hello!

This issue isn't one of gvim vs vim; its one of a released version of
Vim vs. an alpha-stage release. Vim/Gvim 6.0_ (where the latest _ is
ag) supports vertical splitting (amongst many other things).

Besides, its

:vsplit "filename"

for vertical window splitting (:split does a horizontal split).

Regards,
C Campbell
