From command line:

open specified files as horizontal splits

gvim -o report.log power.log area.log

open specified files as vertical splits

gvim -O report.log power.log area.log

Within the editor

open file for editing in new horizontal split screen

:split filename
:sp filename

open file for editing in new vertical split screen

:vsplit filename
:vs filename

Check out :h windows.txt for more help
