Ha! That's it. So, it really is just that I didn't open them in the right order.

Thanks Gary for the clarification! Thanks Marvin for the initial info!

So, for completeness, my commands were:

:belowright vs
:sp
ctrl-w-<arrow to the top right window>
:vs
:sp
ctrl-w-<arrow to the top right window>
:sp
:sp

That did it. I then mouse set the window sizes to the way I want them

Thanks again!
Andy
