Hmm, this is getting interesting.  I got the docs on a notebook
in the office.  Let me look at what they did.  I seem to remember
that there was a patch for Canna to use uum from the command line
as well...  I think.

Usually I just stay inside of Mule, so I don't need to input
Kanji outside of Mule.  When I do venture to the command line,
I use kinput2.  

Does Xwnmo have the Kanji selection window like kinput2?  For
example, when you type "watashi" can you zip through the possible
kanji characters with C-p, C-n, C-f, and C-b ? (I don't like
to use arrow keys   :-)

to review the problem, the TLUG archive is available both
on the web as well as via e-mail with majordomo commands.

The beginning of the year had quite a few interesting bits about
Japanese support.
