tlug: Win-emacs Japanese input method?

[Philip Mak <pmak@example.com>]

Hello,

I've been studying Japanese as a hobby for two years. I run a Windows port
of emacs on my computer. Recently, I found out that emacs has multilingual
support. I've been able to get it to display Japanese characters (using
the MS Gothic font that came with Internet Explorer), but I'm a bit lost
on how to install a Japanese input method. All the webpages I've found on
the subject pertain to installing the input method on UNIX emacs, and/or
are written in Japanese (which I can't read very well yet).

Does anyone know how to install a Japanese input method on emacs in
Windows? Also, which input method is best? I've seen several different
ones like canna and wnn but don't know the difference between them. I'm
used to the Japanese Input Method in Internet Explorer, where I type
romaji and it comes out as kana, which I can use to spell out kanji.

Thanks,
