Banzai!!!  That did it!  Stupid of me not to have gone into the settings 
for OpenOffice!  Also, with 1.1.4, you have to manually select a 
Japanese font, which changes to boxes in the... um... tool bar is it?  
But then it inputs with no problem.

With 2.0Pre (that's what SuSE calls it, it's actually 1.9+), it works 
more seamlessly... once Japanese is enabled in Options that is!

So, first, thank you very much for the tip that has solved that issue 
for me (very important to me - so really, thank you very much) and also 
thank you for the other tips, which I'll try along with some other 
things on my test box first and then - gradually, hopefully I will 
finally cross the line and begin to understand the way Linux can most 
effectively be operated.
