Gawd knows what came over me. I guess a double-D whore of alliteration tempted my tongue away from the path of linguistic righteousness.
Courier (or any monospaced/non-proportional typeface) cannot adequately accommodate the different widths of the hyphen-minus, en dash and em dash. So yes, in screenwriting (and typewriting) a double hyphen-minus is the substitute for a dash. However, just a single hyphen-minus, with a space both sides, is the standard separator in scene headings.
