I may be wrong but I think we don't have to do that any more; I think you can

know what is used for. It's nt an em dash, and when I just wrote it by using
the shift key and that key, I got this: _ a line twice as long as one hyphen.
I used in recently ikn a book I was proofing o draw a long line under a heading
that was in the print book, but I probably shouldn't have put anything there.
____ (the line I just drew was hitting that key 4 times (the key with the
hyphen under the longer line with shift and that key (I suppose I've
thoroughly confused you. smile
