I had already read this, and experimented with it.

I selected the text via a Ctrl-V and issued a: ":Align \tsp" and nothing
happened.

Since I had tried many other things to get the plugin to align on white
spaces before I found alignmap-tsp, I did it again just to make sure and
saw the same result: the buffer is not modified.

I read (again) the intro at :h align-maps, sourced AlignMaps.vim to be
on the safe side, repeated the experience a couple of times, once with a
different test file containing:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
a b c d
a b c d
a b c d
------------------------------------------------------------------------

.. and still nothing happens.

I'm running Vim 7.1 on a debian lenny system and the plugin was
installed like so:

# vim-addons -v -w install align

In other words, it's the version of the plugin that ships with Vim,
installed by root, system-wide.

Thank you for your comments,
