Start kinput2 like this (assuming you are using Canna for your kanji
server):

kinput2 -canna &

The -canna switch tells it to use Canna for the kanji server.  If you're
using wnn instead, use the -wnn switch.

To start Japanese input mode, do a shift-space combination (control-space
will work in Japanized Pine to start J-Pine's internal version of kinput2).
This should give you a Japanese input window marked by a hiragana 'a'
character on the screen.

Note that this will only work in apps that support J input, such as jvim,
muriyari Netscape, Emacs/Xemacs with Mule, etc.

Your question may be basic, but don't worry.  Japanese input under
Linux/Unix isn't exactlyk obvious in many cases, and don't worry about not
using Linux in 1992: Linux didn't even do networking back then, let alone
double-byte languages.
