What is the magic set of incantations to stop vi from inserting
gratutious (at least from my perspective) tabs in text while doing
autoindent?  F'rinstance if I type something like

	function( parameter1,
		  parameter2,
		  parameter3 );

vi very 'helpfully' will stick a tab and some spaces before the string
'parameter3.'  I would prefer spaces (humor me :-) ).

As they say on the radio talk shows, "I'll take my answer on the air."
That is, email will do just fine.
