Realistically, you'd 'set vertical' options or something.

Regarding my previous post, I would like to change teh
default behavior of VIM to prefer vertical splits
instead of horizonal splits.

I not only want to change C-W ] command, but all
commands that have to split a window.  Whats the
quickest way to make this change?

I am thinking along the lines of editing the VIM
source code and searching for somehting like
"vertical_split()" and "horizontal_slit()" functions
and interchanging them.

You can always do a :vertical before the command, and whenever there is
a split inside the command, the split will be vertical.
