Test my hypothesis with

.EQ
- x - ~~~ ... ~~~ cdot cdot cdot ~~~ - ^ cdots - ~~~ . ~ x ~ . ~~~ x
.EN

"..." yields as 3 separate centered dots.

To get an ellipsis, you need to use "cdots".

It you want things on the text baseline use a real . and mess with the 
space between with a '^' and back commands.
