- Entering a simple Japanese phrase
-
- Let's see how to enter the following japanese sentence using moke
-
- ñóñ╖ñ┐íóñ∩ñ┐ñ╖ñ╧┼∞╡■ñ╦╣╘ñ¡ñ▐ñ╣íú
-
- (Ashita, watashi wa toukyou ni ikimasu)
-
- Start moke with no filename and we will then have a fresh buffer to
- play around with. The first word to enter is ñóñ╖ñ┐. To enter
- we must first go to the INSERT mode. Typing an 'i' changes the mode to
- INSERT mode. When you pressed the 'i' key the "Enter:" prompt was
- displayed on the ENTERLINE or the last line of your screen. Now to enter
- ñóñ╖ñ┐ simply type "ashita" using romaji as shown below.
-
- Enter: ashita
-
- Press return and the hiragana for ashita appears on the first line
- of the screen. The comma can be entered as is. Enter it and press
- return. Next enter "watashi", press return. The "wa" must be entered
- like it appears in hiragana that is ñ╧ (ha), press return.
- Now we get to the first kanji word in the sentence. Enter toukyou
- just as you would any other word but instead of using the return key
- to send the line to the screen use the F2 function key. The romaji
- string toukyou has only one mapping in the SKK jishou so it is displayed
- immediatedly. Had there been more than one mapping the choices would have
- been displayed in the ENTERLINE and selection is done with the arrow keys
- and the return key.
-
- Now let's finish the sentence. Next is "ni", enter it like "ashita" and
- press the return key. Now we have the last word "ikimasu". Since this
- word uses both kanji and hiragana to represent the word entering it is
- slight different from kanji only words. To lookup the kanji ╣╘ in the
- dictionary enter the romaji for the kanji part of the word then enter
- the first romaji character of the hiragana portion of the word which
- is a "k". But capitalize it. Capitalizing it tells the program that this
- character should be treated differently and should not be translated into
- hiragana. Press the F2 key. Two choice will appear on the ENTERLINE. The
- first choice is the question mark (?) if you select this by pressing the
- SPACE BAR or the return key nothing will be selected. So use the right
- arrow and move the cursor under ╣╘. Press the SPACE BAR or the
- return key. Lastly enter the hiragana porition of "ikimasu" with a period
- and press the return key.
