Hi Tim, I doubt there's any technical reason why you couldn't do so, but given that hyphens are used in every third default REBOL word, your scripts will end up a mish-mash of both styles, won't they? Also, hyphens are easier to notice than a period in some fonts, so they're less likely to be mistaken for a space. As to typing them, well I'm a lousy typist anyway so it doesn't make a lot of difference to me either way.
