vim help,how to open multiple files with vsplit?
 
vim -o file1 file2 opens two files spliting the window horizontally.
How to do that vertically?

Code:
vim -O file1 file2
It's a capital 'o'

If i do vim file1.txt and :vsplit then how to get another file opened in that window?

Change to new window and :e filename works too

Does vi mean vi editor or visual mode?
