Quick question: How do I specify the number of characters in a split window? C-x-3 Splits my window into two windows evenly, but a subsequent split will split one of the windows in half. I'd like 3 equal sized windows. The documentation says that I should be able to specify the number of characters for the left buffer as a parameter, but I cant seem to get that to work. Any ideas for syntax?
Thanks.

You can split a window horizontally or vertically by clicking C-Mouse-2 in the mode line or the scroll bar.
Much better to use the multiple buffer feature of emacs. If you are editing the first file and want to start editing the second file, simply use the hot key C-x C-f or the menu selection File->Open File to start the second file. The second file is loaded into its own buffer.
Type C-c + to enlarge the window. Then hit + or - repeatedly to enlarge/shrink the window. Any other key ends the resize operation.
C-x 3 twice followed by C-x + to equally size all windows.

To specify the number of characters in the split window, do:
C-u number-of-characters C-x 3
