Hi Murray--

I remember reading about this in the FDP Primer when I started learning
about the FDP.

.....where is this thing.....OK, see the "SGML Primer" chapter, the
section on "Comments".  There's an admonition to "Use 2 dashes", which
explains that something is turning two consecutive hyphens into an
em-dash.

<speculation>I wonder if there's some stylesheet parameter that can 
turn this behavior off?</speculation>

Cheers,

Bruce.
