dtimsstart(1)
NAME
  dtimsstart - Brings up a dialog box where the user can change the input
  method and the input styles of the current input method

SYNOPSIS
  /usr/dt/bin/dtimsstart

DESCRIPTION
  The dtimsstart command displays the Input Method Options dialog box which
  lets the user:

    ·  Change the input method

    ·  Change the input styles that are supported by the current input method

  An Input Method application lets the user enter Asian (multibyte)
  characters such as Japanese Kanji or Chinese Hanzi.

  In many input methods the user can type multiple keystrokes to compose a
  single character (or set of characters). The process of composing
  characters from keystrokes is called pre-editing. The user selects a pre-
  editing method by clicking on one of the radio buttons under Style
  Preference in the Input Method Options dialog box.

  An input method may not support all style preferences. Refer to the input
  method's documentation to determine the supported input styles.

  Commonly, the system's default input method server is used.

  Instead of using the default, the user's own input method server can be
  used if it is installed on the system. To use such an input method server,
  in the Input Method Options dialog box:

    ·  Click on the Other radio button under Input Method

    ·  Click on the text field

    ·  Type the name of the input method server

    ·  Click on the OK or Apply button

  The name of the input method is governed by the input method server.	The
  name should be the same as the setting of the XMODIFIERS environment
  variable. See the input method's documentation for details.

  The Style Preferences are described in the following sections.

  Over the Spot Style Preference

  In over the spot pre-editing, the data is displayed in a pre-edit window
  that is placed over the text insertion point.

  Off the Spot Style Preference

  In off the spot pre-editing, the pre-edit window is inside the application
  window but not at the text insertion point. Often, this type of window is
  placed at the bottom of the application window.

  Root Window Style Preference

  Root window pre-editing refers to input methods that use a pre-edit window
  that is the child of the root window.

  On the Spot Style Preference

  For on the spot input methods, pre-editing data is displayed directly in
  the application windows. Application data is moved to permit pre-edit data
  to appear at the text insertion point.
