    As far as I know, 'underscores' are ignored by Google.
    Hyphens are separators.

    Underscores were used in file names where spaces were not permitted (in DOS for example) But not web URLs.

    Don't take my word as Gospel John - after all, XWD and Xtreme use underscores for folder names which become part of the URL and written in html.

    I'm no expert..

    John you can use a dash (en-dash or em-dash), hyphen, or underscore to replace a space.
