Hi,

emacs -nw file2 file2 should open both files in a horizontally split window. I don't know how to do this vertically.

Hope this helps.

press Ctrl-x-2 {Spliting window horizontally}
press Ctrl-x-1 {Closing other splits}

press Ctrl-x-o {Moving the cursor from one split to another}

press Ctrl-x-Ctrl-f {Opening a file}
