Pull request overview
This PR fixes incorrect dash characters in the mpgo documentation that prevented users from successfully copy-pasting commands. The issue was caused by en-dashes (–) being used instead of hyphens (-) for command-line parameters throughout the document, likely from the original content being authored in Word or another word processor that auto-converts hyphens to en-dashes.
- Corrected all command-line parameter dashes from en-dashes (–) to hyphens (-) in code examples and inline references
- Fixed parameter references in prose text to use proper hyphens
- Ensured all mpgo.exe command syntax examples are now copy-paste ready

Summary
Copy/pasting commands from the mpgo documentation doesn't work because it uses the wrong type of dashes (
–instead of-). It was probably originally written in Word or something.Internal previews
