I'm not thrilled that the numbering has changed, but at least now I know the - and . conventions.
I only own the '99 so I'll stick with the hyphen.

Did I give enough detail about the above oddball meter readings. I'm using a new Fluke T5 meter, and haven't learned its quirks yet. The manual consists of stick people and other caveman-like drawings. My hunch is that the meter is reading it right. I wasn't expecting to see DC voltage on an AC circuit.
