I should have done it that way then!  Already having two machines with
9.1 that I've long been frustrated with in my attempts to input
Japanese, I was afraid to take the chance with 9.3.  One possible
advantage to installing it in Japanese though, is that even after
switching over to English (which changes *most* things, *not* all), I
don't have to switch anything to write in Japanese.  I'm going to try
updating 9.1 with 9.3 and see what happens.....
