Hi Art, Les, and all,
Winfried off list also pointed out to me how the way to use em-dash or

This solution is nearly good enough, There is one small problem: the

that this is because a whole number of dashes doesn't

Actually, that was about the point Frame Technology was edging close
to running out of money Adobe bought 'em. I think 5.6 was a FT
remnant, not a path that Adobe started and then backed away from.

that way.
