Sounds good; the default would be a hyphen, and if the user needs an em- or an en-dash he would add two or one add'l. dashes accordingly, directly following this. I thought that this problem might not be very common, but it has come up twice in the last couple days for me (lots of dates and archival numbers) and I saw in the Latex Companion that it is also a common problem for the "hard" scientists (in Germany everyone is a scientist or "knowledge creator"), who need to write about p- and n-combinatorials or somesuch things. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
