    Hi Folks,
   In the book I am working on right now, there is only a single dash where 
there should be a pause in the reading of the text.  In most books, there is 
usually a long dash or a double dash there.  My question is, should I put in 
double dashes where there ought to be a pause in the reading of the text 
instead of the single dash?  This would diferentiate the single dash (or 
hyphen) from the double dash where there should be a pause.  Thanks!
