Yesterday I have posted following message, today I got response
by Yu, Qing from Mississippi State University
 

Are there somebody out there know how to use cxterm?

I downloaded the cxterm codes and font files to my workstation by
ftp from MIT. I compiled and installed them. setup all the envirenment
variables, added new font search path. Then I start the cxterm display
on my workstation. But my question is how to input the Chinese characters?
I read thru all the man pages cxterm.man, hzimpath.man tit2cit.man and
the README file, but they don't tell you how to select an input method,
how to input the ascii code for the Chinese characters, where I can
find the acsii tabel for the Chinese character? Where I can find the
"CXterm User's Guide"?

By the way, When used xfontsel to select those Chinese fonts, I get
blow away and log me out. I am not sure is that computer has not
enough memory? 

If you know something about cxterm, celvis and cemacs, please let me
know. Because I can't spend a lot of time to learn these, that is not
my job, my boss don't pay me learn these things.

Today I got response from Yu, Qing, Mississippi State University by
Email.

 Your boss doesn't pay you to do this, then why are you doing this? 

(just kidding)


I had a little experience on cxterm. when you under cxterm directory, type
"cxterm", there will be a cxterm window appear, the default will be ascii 
input (F1). use vi or celvis to edit your file, then choose F3 to get pinyin
with tone, or F4 to get pinyin input mode, F6 punctuations,...etc. These
keypress should be in the README file of cxterm.


Try...

Good luck!

Thank you Yu, Qing. This is really help! Now I am wondering is it
possible also works on xedit? Because right now only works for
vi, celvis and cemacs editors. I am use xrn to read and write net
messages. Is that nice I can post some Chinese characters on the
net? I just did some testing on Email with some Chinese characters.
It works fine for me. All you need to do are define your .mailrc or
.elm/elmrc(if only if you use ELM) editor=$your_celvis_directory.
And start mail or elm in the cxterm, then you can sent or recieve
Email with Chinese characters. I wish somebody write a cxedit and 
a cxrn(where c mean Chinese) programs. Maybe I can write one, but
I have to use my own time to do it. That will be take very long time
for me to do that. Because my boss pay me do some job relative projects.
He doesn't pay me do soem Chinese emulation programs.

If anyone out there find out how to post a message on the net
with Chinese characters, please followup my messge or making a post
on newsgroups(soc.culture.china/hongkong/taiwan), or sent me an Email
message. I will summary on the net.

Thanks!
