In insert mode in gvim, press Ctrl-K then Shift-Space. On my
system, it shows <S-Space> indicating that it knows what the key
was.

Try entering this test:

   :map <S-Space> :echo 'You pressed Shift-Space'<CR>

Then, in normal mode, press Shift-Space.

Both these tests seem to indicate that my machine doesn't see Shift-Space.
Any idea why some systems  do this and some not, or what I might do to
fix this problem?
