I discovered that 'setenv LANG ja_JP.UTF-8; mlterm' works, 
but then I discovered that SCIM isn't working.  And in any 
case it seems a less than ideal solution.

I looked at rxvt-unicode and it works quite nicely.  At this 
point, if I spend any more time on mlterm it's just 'cause 
I'm being stubborn, and I really don't have time for that, 
so I'm going with what works.

Thanks much!

I discovered finally that mlterm's site is on sourceforge. 
I'll ping them and Ubuntu and see if that goes anywhere.

Thanks
