hyphen or underscore to seperate keywords in url's?

From peter rotgers at dating world on 18 Jan '03

Hi!

I am setting up a number of doorway pages and want to use
important keyword strings in the URL.

What is better for the search engines: to seperate the keywords
by a hyphen, or to seperate the keywords by underscores?

For example:
If "free chat rooms" is an important keyword STRING and I want to
use this in the URL of a doorway page, must I use:

............/free-chat-rooms.htm or
............/free_chat_rooms.htm?

Thanks for any comments.

Peter Rotgers
