It just makes it a symbol used during writing. Letters are what make up the alphabet. The "-" in your word work-around is not part of the English alphabet. It is not a letter in English. It is punctuation. See the POSIX ispunct() and isalpha() functions and what they return. Less formally, when you learned and recited the alphabet in school, did it include "hyphen"? I rather doubt it :) Jonathan _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
