     As for typing Japanese--John, aren't you running RH 7.1 J?  Or English with 
     Japanese support?  If the former, I have to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I've installed RH7.1 Japanese and designated Japanese as the default 
locale/language system wide. So for most programs I can use Japanese 
easily enough, and have Japanese menus etc. on the KDE desktop as well 
as in KDE programs. Konqueror is also Japanese.

On the other hand, when I tried to install Netscape 4.77, all the menus 
are totally unreadable (they look like Chinese and many of them are 
missing). After installing Star Office from one of the disks that came 
with the package, I noticed it is the Spanish version. The graphical 
log-in window (for the system) is all question marks. Sylpheed was 
originally Japanese but after I rebooted the system, it is now English. 
So I'm a little less impressed with the "out of the box" experience of 
RH7.1J than I was initially, in terms of language behavior, other than 
KDE.
