[bug report] Vim Help on IME

Hi Bram,

It is a good time to consider this Vim help entry as a bug:

:help IME

> 8. Input on MS-Windows *mbyte-IME*
> To input multibyte characters on Windows, you have to use Input
> Method Editor(IME). process of your editing text, you must
> switch status (on/off) of IME many many many times. Because IME
> with status on is hooking all of your key inputs, you cannot
> input 'j', 'k', or almost all of keys to Vim directly.

Those statements are not only not true, but also underestimate the
power of vim scripting.

VimIM plugin is created to do Input under Windows as well as Console
without using any external API.

As an example, all CJK in the VimIM manual (http://
vimim.googlecode.com/svn/vimim/vimim.html) were input directly from
within vim without following the "official" way suggested by Vim Help.
