How is the -p option for split-window calculated or "lines" or "cells" when 
using the -l option?  

I have a  gnome-terminal that is 100 columns by 69 rows using my current font.
new-session -d -n 'meow' 'CMD1'
split-window -h -p30 'CMD2'
split-window -h -p10 'CMD3'

I thought that would split my terminal into 3 columns CMD1 | CMD2 | CMD3.  Does 
the window running CMD1/2/3 get 60%, 30%, 10% of the overall terminal width?  
Or does CMD1 get 70% and  CMD2 gets 30% of the overall terminal width, and then 
CMD3 gets 10% of the 30% that CMD2 column gets?  In other words, are the three 
columns 60/30/10 characters wide?  Or are they 70/27/3 characters wide?   I'm 
just not sure if the percentages are based on the total width of the terminal 
or the width of the pane that is being split.  Having said that, either way, I 
get widths that don't make sense to me.

Similarly, I did split-window -h -l 45, a split-window -h -l 35, thinking it'd 
give me a column that's 45/35/20 characters wide.  But it didn't.

Trying various percentages and column widths doesn't get me the expected 
widths.  I've tried a variety of combinations.

I can just create whatever size panes and then resize-pane (or use 
M-left/right/up/down).  But I was hoping a simple split-window -h -l30 would 
give me a column 30chars wide (or split-window -v -l30 give me a row 30 lines 
high.)

Thank you,
PH
