Hi, Everyone!  Here is a response from Jim Fruchterman regarding the 
question of em-dashes.  Sorry, I just realized that I forgot to send it over 
last night. <Smile>

Thanks, Jana. I took a look at the digest from Saturday, and I assume the 
answer is that we don't want to move away from the way the book was printed: 
we have made a commitment to publishers and authors to work to bring the 
scanned texts closer to the original.  If we have a preference from Braille 
readers to change our Duxbury output, I'd rather keep the focus on that.
