>From the keyboard of tkevans at oss670.UUCP (Tim Evans):
:That is, a space between two words which must never be divided
:between lines. Say, for example, you want to have a legal
:quotation in a file, such as "Section 102(a)" of some law or
:other. How can you keep "Section" and "102(a)" from being
:separated when 'vi' wraps at the end of a line?
Use a ^V in front of the space. It will wrap later ifyou
ever !}fmt though.
