How do I make mvim automatically split the window vertically upon launch?

A:
You can use vim +vsplit to make vim run :vsplit after opening.

Just to add to this, if you want to open files in vertical splits use vim -O file1 file2.. etc.

I'm using macvim and usually launch by `cd` -ing into a directory and running the `mvim` launcher script. I'd like it to open up with two blank vsplits.

I don't have mvim, but it probably reads ~/.vimrc, so, try adding this line to your ~/.vimrc file:
vsplit

I thought of this too, but not sure how it would interact with other ways of starting vim, such as vimdiff.

So simple...I was thinking it had to be some autocmd call. This works great, thank you.
