I think those are enough for you.    But you might not want kterm or kinput2, 
because you can read/write email/newsgroup with mule.   kterm is the kanji 
extension of xterm, and kinput2 is for kterm, so only if you use Japanese in 
command lines or another text-based editors in kterm, you need kterm.   Which 
you use Wnn or Canna is a big problem.   Personally, I use Canna which is 
completely free, because these days, Wnn is becoming commercial (Wnn-6) and 
OMRON(the developer of Wnn) development of free ware version of Wnn seems to 
stop.  However, there seems to be another project free Wnn called free-Wnn.  
But I don't know about it.  In short, Wnn-4 is free version, and Wnn-6 is 
commercial version.   You must choose between mules for Wnn or Canna depending 
on which you use Wnn or Canna.   Maybe PJE has only the free version of Wnn.  
kinput2 is a bit troublesome in installation because it needs environment 
variable and X Window resource set properly.

  Hope it will help.
