:On every machine I tried this on, the ^I expands to 8 spaces, and I get
:"Missing rhs".  (I tried it on Sun-3's and Sun-4s running SunOS 3.4 and 4.0.3,
:and HP9000s300s running HP-UX 6.2 and 6.5).  Nothing else I've tried works

I was not able to do this from the command line.  However,  it was
quite easy to do in a source file or .exrc file

map ^V^V^I<space>^T^V^M
