Discretionary hyphen (DH) can be changed in Xy3.
In your printer file, add this:

  DF DH={character of your choice}

Said character will be come invisible in normal view, and
will be the new soft hypen. A good choice might be one of
the IBM-specific characters between ASCII 1 and ASCII 31,
excepting those that have special meanings such as 10 (LF),
13 (CR), 26 (EOF), 27 (ESC), etc.
