i tried ^k as well but it works neither as root nor as user.

ok, i'll try to read more about this subject. you definitely got me
interested :-)

ok, i browsed cjkv last night once again and the part about programming
languages with special interest. it mentions java perl and python mostly for
their ability to handle cjkv text. these are 3 languages i could try to learn
if i had a project to concentrate on.
now, i thought maybe, to understand better what is at stake i should get a
package source and try to figure out how to i18nze it. i downloaded ee (the
easy editor) source and i tried to look through it. hahaha, a little too
hard. so i though maybe i could try to write a small text editor myself so i
can write in japanese under a console ?
so what do you advise me to go on on this idea (languages, books) or maybe i
should start somewhere else ?
yours,
jean-christophe helary
