Does anyone out there in netland know anything about Apple's Arabic
Interface System (sort of an Arabic Kanji system)?  I'm having some
trouble getting it to work with System 6.02.  I was able to make it
work with System 4.2 (System Tools 5.0) by copying all relevent 
resources from the old system and pasting it into the new one and
then placing the INIT file into the System Folder.  Trying this same
technique with System 6.02 results in only a beep during startup and
the materials are not loaded in.

I only need the ability to type in Arabic and do not need the Arabic
menus and error messages.  It is quite useful with graphics programs
such as Canvas (an excellent program).  However, Canvas 2.0 requires
System 6.0 or later and I can't stand using an "old" System.

Is there any way I can correct this problem or is there a new version
of AIS that I (and APDA) don't know about?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
