Thanks to all who replied - white-space is in my reference, I just never saw
it, as I was looking for other keywords.

I'll be going with the CSS white-space: nowrap method, as I am assured my
audience is all MSIE 5 or higher.  I tried the &nbsp; method at first, but
it added a lot of code, and the browser still wrapped on the - character
(probably could have used an entity for that, too, but the CSS will fix it
all).
