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.
