- Once you have buffers for each of the three files, you can go into
- Buffer Menu Mode (C-x C-b), type 'm' on the lines of the first and
- second files and 'q' on the line of the third and you will have
- three (roughly) equally sized windows showing the three files.
-
- Works for an arbitrary number of buffers too. Type C-h m in Buffer
- Mode for more info.
-
- Hope this helps,
