Strictly speaking it's not makeinfo, but post-processing I put in place many years ago to compensate what _was_ a silly change in makeinfo which started generating "_002d" instead of "-" (and similar substitutions). In other words, strict correctness was valued over usability and backwards-compatibility, let alone intuition or esthetics. </rant> Unfortunately the workaround has been causing some collateral damage, too, one of which your patch avoided. Sorry, and thanks! Gerald
