I'm using strong fly-paper!
The part of the algorithm that I didn't post is this: On each
keystroke, I take the text of the field, strip out any hypens that
got in there from the last keystroke, then, if the resulting string
has more than 5 chars I make the final string the first 5 chars, a
hyphen, then the rest of the chars, else, just the string that's
there. Seems to work!
I'll see your 2 hyphens and raise you a semi-colon,
