Thanks a lot. I will try to obtain them when I have time.
(Interested readers should refer to Mr. Campbell's previous 
posting for the sites.)

I do use MacJDic, too, but I've never tried its autopasting
feature with NinjaTerm. It may work. I assume that your users 
(the kids) will be composing messages outside of the telecomm. 
program, perhaps by using a text editor, if the messages are 
in Japanese. Of course MacJDic is a convenient work that can
be used side by side with a text editor, such as YooEdit.

Then you will be running System 7.1, JLK, telecommunications 
software, MacJDic, and a text editor simultaneously. You may 
feel squeezed if you have just the standard 4 MB of RAM.

Are the kids communicating in Japanese? or in English anyway?
Are we talking about Japanese kids who live in the U.S. and Japan?

(Matsuda)
I think Fukuoka and Hakata are composite fonts of existing
fonts, and you need not worry about installing new fonts.

(Matsuda)
It is the most recent System Update (should have said "Update"
rather than "Upgrade" in my earlier posting) for System 7.1 by
Apple. You can get it from ftp.apple.com. It is supposed to enhance
the Mac OS, but I don't know if it does anything to the performace
of the JLK. I have noticed nothing. I mentioned SU3.0 in order to
state that I have experienced no problem using the JLK with it,
and I did not suggest that you should update your OS to use JLK
or NinjaTerm, or whatever. You need not worry about SU3.0.
