NAME

  dxhanyuim - An input server for Traditional Chinese


DESCRIPTION

  In a Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input methods are
  supported by independent processes called input servers.

  The Traditional Chinese input server (dxhanyuim) is an X client process
  that can run on a standard X server, provided that the server system has
  the required Traditional Chinese fonts installed. This means that the input
  server can run on any system that can access your X display device,
  including the device itself.

  Starting the Input Server

  If your CDE session language is set to Traditional Chinese, the Traditional
  Chinese input server is started automatically, and both the language
  setting and the Traditional Chinese input method are available for
  applications that you start during that session. If your session language
  is not set to Traditional Chinese, you can switch to Traditional Chinese
  from a terminal emulation window by setting the LANG environment variable
  to a Traditional Chinese locale. From the same terminal emulation window,
  you must also use the command line to start the Traditional Chinese input
  method server and then other applications in which you want to use
  Traditional Chinese.

  You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the
  following command:

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanyuim &

  If you want to start the input server on a remote system, log on the remote
  system, and enter the following commands. Substitute the name of your local
  system for <display_name> in the first command.

       % setenv DISPLAY <display_name>:0
       % /usr/bin/X11/dxhanyuim &

  After the input server is started, any Motif applications that have been
  internationalized to support Traditional Chinese can communicate with the
  server to obtain input method services. Applications must be started after
  the server is started. However, if the application contains an XmText or
  XmTextField widget with the Reconnectable resource set to True, the
  application will be able to establish a connection with the input  server
  when the application starts first or when the server stops and restarts.
  See the XmText(3X) or XmTextField(3X) reference pages.


RESTRICTIONS

  This input server uses X11R6. It can connect to input-method clients
  running X11R4, X11R5, or X11R6 under the same locale. However, support for
  multiple monitors (multi-head systems) is available only to clients also
  running X11R6. Support for multiple monitors is not available to input-
  method clients using X11R5 or X11R4.

  If you are using a PC-style keyboard, the input server may not recognize
  the Backspace key as the way to delete the previous character in the input
  method preediting area. In this case, you must use the Delete key to delete
  the character.

  The default Shift/Alt/Space key sequence for activating and deactivating
  the input method may not work under CDE. In this case, invoke the dialog
  box for Input Method Customization and change the key sequence for Start
  Input Method and End Input Method to something other than Shift/Alt/Space.
