On my SLES 9, both Intel and z, it behaves as you would like. vi file1
file2 opens two files but displays the first file. vi -o file1 file2
opens each file in its own window. the N in -o[N] defaults to the number
of files.
vi -o3 works and gives me 3 windows each with a file named "no file".

Toto, I have a feeling we're not in the mainframe world any more.
