NAME

       dxhangulim - An input server for Korean

DESCRIPTION

       In  a  Motif environment such as CDE, Asian language input methods are supported by independent processes called input servers.	The Korean
       input server (dxhangulim) is an X client process that can run on a standard X server, provided that the	server	system	has  the  required
       Korean  fonts installed. This means that the Korean input server can run on any system that can access your X display device, including the
       device itself.

   Starting the Input Server
       If your CDE session language is set to Korean, the Korean input server is started automatically, and both  the  language  setting  and  the
       Korean  input  method  is available for applications that you start during that session. If your session language is not set to Korean, you
       can switch to Korean from a terminal emulation window by setting the LANG environment variable to a Korean locale. From the  same  terminal
       emulation  window, you must also use the command line to start the Korean input method server and then other applications in which you want
       to use Korean.

       You can start the input server on your local workstation by using the following command:

       % /usr/bin/X11/dxhangulim &

       If you want to start the input server on a remote system, log on the remote system, and enter the following commands. Substitute  the  name
       of your local system for <display_name> in the first command.

       % setenv DISPLAY <display_name>:0 % /usr/bin/X11/dxhangulim &

       After  the  input  server  is  started,	any Motif applications that have been internationalized to support Korean can communicate with the
       server to obtain input method services. However, remember that these applications must be started after the server is started.

   PC-Style Keyboard Restrictions
       If you are using a PC-style keyboard, the input server may not recognize the Backspace key as the way to delete the previous  character	in
       the input method preediting area. In this case, you must use the Delete key to delete the character.

       The default Alt-Space key sequence for activating and deactivating the input method may not work under CDE. In this case, invoke the dialog
       box for Input Method Customization and change the key sequence for Start Input Method and End Input Method to be something other than  Alt-
       Space. For example, you could change the sequence to be Ctrl-Space.
