If you're using emacs 23, you can adjust the value of
split-width-threshold.
Here's the documentation:
: split-width-threshold is a variable defined in `window.el'.
: Its value is 192
:
: Documentation:
: Minimum width of window to be split horizontally.
: If the value is a number, `display-buffer' can split a window
: only if it has at least as many columns. If the value is nil,
: `display-buffer' cannoCt split a window horizontally.
:
: You can customize this variable.
:
: This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in
: version 23.1 of Emacs.
I have it set to a value wider than my current diminutive moniter (MSI
Wind netbook) can handle, and the splits are now occurring vertically
instead of horizontally.
