I use Emacs 24.3 on MS Windows 7 with a large format monitor
(2560x1600). Sometimes I want to view files with wide lines so I make my
frame very wide. Certain commands will request a new window and this may
often split a window vertically. However, in a wide frame, I observe
automatic horizontal splitting. I'd like to avoid this, as it reduces my
desired wide window. I haven't found anything in Info that enlightens me
as to how to avoid the automatic splitting. Any suggestions?

See split-height-threshold.

See split-height-threshold and split-width-threshold.

For a wider screen, I found I only needed: (setq split-width-threshold nil)
This eliminates the behavioral variability that drove me crazy (and seems to be annoying Kevin).
(I assume for a taller screen, one might need to change split-height-threshold.)
Hope this helps,
Mark
