Hi Christian,

My undestanding is that you need to install an input server that covers
your particular data entry needs. I could be 100% wrong about that, but
that might explain the different web links on the help page. They point
to stuff that's not part of the Vim offering.

This was meant more as a general remark, though.. mostly to the effect
that it's much easier to figure out IME documentation when you have an
IME installed to play with.

Here's an ancient thread that may be of some interest:

Again, I may be sending you altogether down the wrong path..

Thanks,

CJ
