Here's the consolidated answers for the original question from Martin Cotterell
(redact!martinc@relay.eu.net):

     I have been trying to use the internationalization features of X11R5.

     I am running HPUX 9.01 on a HP715 and have built and installed the MIT
     X11R5 Xlib (BuildXsi YES) and everything in the contrib/im/Xsi tree.

     I have set (and exported) the following environment variables :-

     LANG=japanese.euc    # for the HP setlocale call, and this is aliased to
                          # ja_JP.ujis in the nls.alias file.
     XMODIFIERS=@im=_XWNMO

     I can run the jserver dictionary manager and xwnmo input server.

     I have a client that successfully creates an input method and input
     context and communicates with the xwnmo input server.

     However I can not get anything other than normal ascii characters
     returned from XmbLookupString. I tried passing various keypress events
     such as Kana_Lock, kana_switch, kana_a, but to no effect.

     Presumably xwnmo expects some key sequence to switch in to katakana or
     Kanji mode. I have been unable to find any documentation on this and
     the README files with the xwnmo/Wnn source don't really describe how
     it operates.

Try with \C-\.
\C=control key.
If you choose lang wr_WR.ct you can choose special lang. with f6.
Good luck.

You can try <CTRL>+<BACKSPACE> to shift to Kanji mode.
If your keyboard has Function keys, you may try to use F1, F2, or F3.

In directory

	/usr/local/lib/wnn

there are files for keymapping. Of course, dir could be different on your
systems (this dir also contains WNN dictionaries).

On any machines where WNN is installed,  there must be a directory
(/usr/local/lib/wnn is default) which contains WNN dictionaries and other
setup files. A file which defines Function Keys also exists.  For example,
on my machine, there is a file uumkey:

; Commands                      Codes

forward_char                    ^F 0x90
backward_char                   ^B 0x91
goto_top_of_line                ^A 0x9A
goto_end_of_line                ^E 0x9B
delete_char_at_cursor           ^D 0x8B
kaijo                           ^K 0x99

...

>From this file, we know that, to set Kanji mode(henkan_on),
press ^\(CTRL+BACKSLASH); to convert from Hiragana to Kanji(henkan), press
