Didn't mean you can not use them (generally) but '-' rather than '_' is
used for arguments and some brain dead command line tools will happily
munge a filename with a hyphen as being a command line option.
Underscore '_' is much safer than hyphen '-' in file names. Can't
remember what I was bitten by recently with hyphens so many gotcha's to
worry about all the time.
