From the keyboard of tkevans@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.
