opening two files side-by-side by default

[Andrei Makeev]

Hello,

sorry for a naive question:
how to make emacs open two files,

emacs -nw file1.txt file2.txt

such that the two files are positioned
side-by-side right away, instead of (default
setting) one above the other?
I believe I should put something involving
(split-window-horizontally) in my .emacs
files, but don't know how to do it exactly.

Thanks!
~Andrei.
