Re: Vim Help on IME

Hi Tony,

Everything from your message are clear except the following:

> To input multibyte characters *by means of an Input Method* on Windows,
> you have to use an Input Method Editor (IME). (etc.)

As a matter of fact, I can take VimIM as one "Input Method". I am on
Windows, and I can input multibyte characters (Chinese in my case)
without using the system IME on Windows. I even know some VimIM users
can type as many as 100 Chinese per minute, making VimIM qualified as
one full-fledged IM.

How about this statement?
To input multibyte characters on Windows, you can use Input Method
Editor (IME).

Also, it looks like the term "IME" is only used in MS Windows, after
reading
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input_Method_Editor

My whole point is that we do have choice and we should avoid using
"have to" ...
