With emacs23, when the window is wide, on commands like `M-x occur RET'
and `M-x grep RET' emacs will split horizontally and show the results in
the right window.

I find that behaviour very annoying.  Does anyone know the magic elisp
incantations to make emacs always splut vertically?

Thanks!

There is a thread on this just a month or two back.  Setting it to nil is the recommended way.  I find that setting it to something large works better for me.  I have mine set to 1600.

Thanx to both!  I've customized it to nil, and that worked fine for me.
