you, Martin, for the detailed reply.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
to apologize to the list and particularly those answering my questions. Even
though Korean was the default language on my computer at start-up, I just
discovered that my non-Unicode language setting was set to Japanese. (I think
this is what you meant, Martin, by system codepage.) I was positive I had been
testing with Korean :(</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
good news is that Toolbox is operating just fine with Korean without
Keyman!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
Korean IME appears in the upper left-corner of the screen (somewhat
distracting), but when a hangul is complete or after a space is pressed, the
hangul appears in the Toolbox field. Also, pressing right Ctrl with a hangul in
the IME brings up the list of Korean characters (hanja). To switch between
alphabet and hangul input, press right Alt.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For
people unfamiliar with the non-Unicode language setting, go to Control Panel
-> Language Options -> Regional and Language Options -> Advanced, and
select Korean for the Language for non-Unicode Programs. This is for Windows XP
(and I believe Windows 2000 Pro but not Windows ME).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Note
that you have to install Korean on your system, first. Control Panel ->
Language Options -> Regional and Language Options -> Languages ->
Details -> Add, and add Korean.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
sequence may differ slightly at the beginning depending on how your Control
Panel is configured.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=875093222-17022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I'll
still need to test output and other parts of Toolbox to make sure everything is
functional. I did try entering Korean, closing and reopening, and the hangul was
maintained.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<BR></FONT></DIV><TT><BR>But there is possibly another way around this, which
I haven't tested. That<BR>is to set your system codepage to be Korean and to
use a multi-byte<BR>encoding for Korean. This would mean that non-Korean
fields using any kind<BR>of upper ASCII in your database would need to be
converted to Unicode and<BR>typed using Keyman. It also means that anyone
using your database would<BR>need to have the same system codepage or else you
would need to convert<BR>your data to Unicode for them and then they wouldn't
be able to edit it.<BR>Alternatively, if they can't read Korean, they could
use any old codepage<BR>and the Korean would come up as jibberish, but not be
damaged.<BR><BR>I have asked whether Keyman can help with the problem of ANSI
vs Unicode<BR>applications and the answer is that the conversion happens very
deep in<BR>Windows and Keyman can't provide a solution for IMEs
:(<BR><BR>>Can anyone shed some light on this?<BR><BR>I hope this makes
better sense for you of what is going on. The Busemans<BR>are very aware of
the issue and are working to produce a Win2K+ version of<BR>Toolbox that will
work with IMEs, but don't hold your breath since it is<BR>not as easy as
people make out, to make the switch.</TT></BLOCKQUOTE><!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| -->
