SUMMARY
=======

Input Method Editors (IME) provide different methods of entering foreign
characters (such as Hiragana, Hurigana, Katakana, Kanji, Chinese, Korean, and
Romaji). You can add a Locale and IME through the IME Control Panel utility.

MORE INFORMATION
================

All Far East versions of Windows NT 4.0 support IME in a command prompt. Only
the Japanese version of Windows NT 3.51 supports IME in a command prompt. None
of the Far East versions of Windows 95 support IME in a command prompt.

NOTE: Even on versions of Far East Localized Windows 95 and versions of Far East
localized Windows NT that do not support IME in a command prompt, you can enter
the Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters in Notepad or WordPad, and then
paste them into the command prompt.
