In calamus, is there a way of getting a dash instead of the hypen or the minus?

There are various dashes in Calamus fonts (CFN):

As you know, you get the standard [b]Hyphen dash[/b] by simply pressing the [-] key on the alpha-numeric keyboard.
To get the [b]Minus[/b], you simply press the [-] key on the numerical block of your keyboard.

With [Ctrl]+[Esc] (or [Control]+[^] in the WindowsPack), you can open the [url=http://man.calamus.net/en/cal/0901.htm]Character-set overview[/url] dialog to pick more characters which are not printed on the keys. The last four Atari TOS characters, shown in this dialog as [sup-n], [sup-2], [sup-3] and [macron], are used as these dashes in Calamus:

[sup-n] equals hyphen,
[sup-2] equals n-dash,
[sup-3] equals m-dash,
[macron] equals macron.

The same Character-set overview dialog can be called in Eddie but shows the Calamus Font equivalents then, not the TOS characters. They are also shown in another relevant Eddie dialog, the [url=http://man.calamus.net/en/mod/edd/060b.htm]Word hyphen[/url] dialog.
