[analog-help] single-char useralias

We have a single-character placeholder in our logs representing the
unknown user, and that character is a one-hyphen dash ("-"). I have been
able to alias our known users into meaningful groups, but can't seem to
write a command that Analog likes to reference the the single-character
unknown user. 

The "dash user" accounts for the larger portion of our total page views,
so I would like to include the "% unknown in our user report."  I have
tried both a regexp approach, as below, and a plain "-" or "-*" alias. I
am probably overlooking the obvious (althought I have confirmed that the
character is right, and that it is in the same position in the log
record as my working alias strings).  Any thoughts?
