[tlug] [tlug-digest] User kana-kanji dictionary in GNU Etmacs

[David Riggs <dariggs@example.com>]

I want to use emacs for my kanji entering, but I do not see any way of 
adding a user dictionary. I want to have my own set of kanji that I use 
all the time, such as historical names and technical term, in addition 
to the entries in the main ja-dic.el file. Thanks to Chuck, I have a 
much expanded ja-dic file, but for ease of maintenance, I would like to 
have a file of my own kanji, which is merged with the main one.

I have tried, but I cannot plow my way through the elisp code that 
controls the kanji conversion process (in the leim/quail/japanese.el 
code). But, as far as I can tell, it does seem that there is no 
provision for a user dictionary.

Anyone tried to do this? Or have any suggestions about adding a my own 
additional dictionary in some way or another? I know that emacs is not 
very good for writing real Japanese, but its quite handy for inserting a 
few technical kanji into my notes.
