good point.  the how to I linked to suggests using kterm or whatever, but 
really if you get a script up and working, you can just use any command 
line to start those things.  The how to wasn't so clear on that but ... 
it's how I got a script that works.

So then anyprogram you want to start can be used to enter Japanese by # 
your_scripts_name name_of_program

the how to spells out more about getting english menus or Japanese ones if 
you want etc...

you still have to do the space+shift trick to get it working though.  And 
actually, mine (on RH8) doesn't seem to work either.  I have to 
space+shift, enter in some hiragana, hit space to select the kanji for it 
in a seperate box, hit return, --nothing gets entered though and I am 
looking at a blank space--, try it again a few times and then it works.  I 
can't at all say why (not likely the script I think) but it's nice that my 
wife needs me for something...
