I am always surprised by the differing expectations of people on this list. I would never consider using '-' in a variable name (for many reasons), yet I'm pretty sure you are not the first one to be bitten by this. The character '-' in a [math] context is the subtraction operator, so the parser will not treat that as part of the variable name (indeed, how could it). The use of two '-' characters doesn't change that. The underscore '_' is not a reserved character (in the [math] or any other context), so it can be safely used as part of a variable name. If you are just comparing your problems to this other bug (I cannot tell from your posting), please post as small a portion of your code which replicates your issue, and we can take a look at it.
