Opening vim help in a vertical split window

Is there a way to get vim help to open in a vertical split pane rather than a horizontal one?

EDIT: to add to 42's answer, you can also control whether the window splits on the left/top (to[pleft]) or right/bottom (bo[tright])

e.g. :vert bo help

From stackoverflow

• :vert help
  

  does it for me.

• This should do it:

  :vsplit
  

  james : :vsp will work as well

  thomasrutter : :vs works for me

  mwc : Tilting my head 90 degrees works for me.
