If you can't find anything in the Emacs info node, then send a bug report (from Help menu) in which you ask to add customisation to set a preference for vertical or horizontal splitting. The "recent" preference to split the frame into an upper and a lower window comes from GNU Emacs's past on hardware terminals with 25 lines and 80 columns. Creating here two windows side by side was not a clever thought. Since GNU Emacs can be more wide than high on 16:10 displays this side by side layout can be more natural. And natural things should be supported by GNU Emacs. -- Greetings <] Pete o __o |__ o recumbo ___o /I -\<, |o \ -\),-% ergo sum! ___/\ /\___./ \___...O/ O____.....`-O-'-()--o_________________
