This depends on the syntax-table settings. Please don't change the syntax of ?- in the main syntax-table, but only in the syntax-table used during font-locking: Take a look at the place where font-lock-defaults is set. Then look at the docstring of font-lock-defaults. Then locate the SYNTAX-ALIST element and set it so that the character ?- has syntax "w". Stefan
