	Mister Micawber  +  278502 Tue, 10 Oct 06 04:56 AM N-dashes are used between e.g .dates (March 3 - 5), not between parts of words.  Second-story uses a hyphen.

	Saiing  +  278519 Tue, 10 Oct 06 05:33 AM I've seen it suggested that an en dash can be used in compound adjectives where one part of the compound is naturally hyphenated,  e.g. "post–World War 2 history", although I think this is more one for serious typsetting aficionados to argue about and not really for general use.
