Foreign Keyboards

[ron barber]

Hi Mark,Thanks for the reply.

I am able to input Japanese with no problems using english keyboards. The
problem is that the Japanese keyboard on Windows has a slightly different
layout and some of the keys do not do what they are supposed to do. I am
wondering if there is anyone who uses a Japanese keyboard with success in
Windows?

Thanks
Ron
PS could you write me (offlist?) about the little hack you use for right to
left Arabic? I would like to try it for Hebrew. Thanks
