I have an ASCII file, created under UNIX, that contains a bunch of
dashes (-).  I imported it into WordPerfect 5.1 and would like to
search for (and replace) the dashes.  simply searching for a dash does
not work.  WP's code for a dash is "[-]" but the ASCII dash is "-" (no
brackets).  I tried searching fom an mdash (I don't recall the <ctrl>V
code) but that didn't work, either.  Can anyone tell me what to enter
as the search string so I can find these dashes?
