I think you mean an underscore "_" rather than a hyphen "-"?

If you type "__" (a double underscore) you will get an underscore. 

If you want to disable that feature, put the following:

  (ess-toggle-underscore nil)

in your init.el file after the point where ESS is loaded.


BTW, there is a dedicated ESS list:
