The option-dash worked great!

Thanks!

I assume you just want a dash for a menu item because otherwise a dash just shows up correctly. I'm not sure why you'd want this, but the syntax is &-

Actually, no, that makes a separator. I'm not sure what the combination is, or even if there is one. I can't figure it out.

You could probably use an en-dash (option-dash on the Macintosh). It is &hD0 in MacRoman encoding or &h96 on Windows Latin-1. It is a little longer than the dash, and is usually used in place of a minus sign for math, and also Microsoft Word substitutes this character when you type a dash.

This is the games list, though. You'll reach a much wider audience on the NUG.

True... there have been a bunch of mundane posts on the Games list lately.
