Interesting!

But I didn't try explicitly using jl_set_env_wnnrc after connecting. I will take a close look at how kinput2 does that. > I think reading kinput2-wnn file might be a better resource than reading umm > source file since at least kinput2-wnn has been in wide use until about a > dozen years ago and there are still some diehard users like me.

I'm trying to create a client for OS/2. This platform doesn't use X11 so I assume porting kinput2 would be difficult... Thank you for your help. Regards,
