special char in abbrev

[Baloff]

Hello

I am trying to define an abbrev, after reading in the info docs I went
to try it, works. but, how can I use 
'beginning of line character''pound symbol''the letter i' as an
abbrev. I am trying to expand
#i
to 
#include
only when typed at the beginning of a line.

it will not work, it will only use 'i' as an abbrev. 

hey,, thanks for all the help, I am waiting for a book to get me to
the level where I can use the info docs more effectively, then I will
be a much less bother.

thanks again for putting up with me
