1.  Introduction

    Many people have been curious about the MOKE 2.0. Well here it is.
    This will not be the final version of MOKE, but it is nearly complete.
    The User Guide is underway. Much more information and operation details
    have been added to the Guide and it is currently over 60 pages (compared
    to around 22 pages for 1.1). The demo file is called mk20demo.zoo. I
    haven't included the new help files or the new wnndict, but all of the
    dictionaries from 1.1 will work with the new version. The help files from
    1.1 will be out of date though. I have provided some basic information
    below, and a brief command summary for INSERT mode and CURSOR mode. 
    File saving in the DEMO version of MOKE 2.0 has been disabled. That is
    the only difference between the real version.

    The demo is on 128.104.30.31. Use anonymous ftp and binary mode to
    transfer the file.

    My email address will be good until August 24. After that I don't 
    whether or not I will have an email address. My US address will be
    the one listed in section 5 (but change J.J. to Mark Edwards).


2.  Installation of mk20demo

 
    Down load mk20demo.zoo to your PC and copy it to the \kanji directory.
    Use the zoo.exe program to unarchive it.

      zoo -e mk20demo

   To run mk20demo type:

      mk20demo

   You might want to read the rest of this readme file to get an idea on
   using the new version. As I said there are major differences.

    to use, performance has been increased, the Wnndict entries are now
    sorted in order of frequency, the online help facility has been improved, 
    most of the keyboard symbols now work in all modes, refreshing the screen 
    is now only done when necessary, block copy, delete, paste commands have 
    been added, Popup windows are used to display items that were 
    displayed on the ENTERLINE, missing kana were added, and many other

6.  Entering a simple Japanese sentence.

    Let's see how to enter the following japanese sentence using moke

       錄˹Ԥޤ

       (Ashita, watashi wa toukyou ni ikimasu)

        Start moke with no filename so there will be an empty file buffer 
    for editing. The first word to enter is . To enter 
    first go to the INSERT mode. Typing an 'i' changes the mode to
    INSERT mode. When you pressed the 'i' key the ":" or enter prompt 
    was displayed on the ENTERLINE or the last line of your screen and 
    the Cursor mode was changed to the Insert mode on the STATUSLINE. 
    Now to enter  simply type "ashita" using romaji as shown 
    below. 

       : ashita

    As the romaji for  is enter the hiragana representing the 
    romaji characters is displayed as soon as an unambiguous characters 
    are found. The comma is entered as your keyboard "comma" key. As you 
    press the comma key it is displayed on the screen. Next enter 
    "watashi" in the same manner as you entered "ashita". The "wa" must 
    be entered like it appears in hiragana that is  (ha). Enter it.
         The next word is the first kanji word in the sentence. To enter 
    "kanji" words first mark the beginning of the word by pressing ALT-m 
    or the Alt key at the same time the "m" key is pressed. Then enter 
    toukyou just as you would any other word. The hiragana for the kanji
    word will not be displayed as before but the romaji as typed in 
    remains on the ENTERLINE. When "toukyou" has been typed in press the 
    enter key. If the "Show Lookup Menu" variable is on then the "Select 
    Lookup Method Window" will be displayed. In this case simply press 
    the enter key again. If the "Show Lookup Menu" variable is off then 
     will be displayed directly. 
         The romaji string toukyou has only one mapping in the kana to kanji 
    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 selects
    the entry the cursor points to.
         Now finish the sentence. Next is "ni", enter it like "ashita"  
    Now we have come to 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 press the ALT-m key and then 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 enter key. Two choice appear on the ENTERLINE along 
    with the quesiton mark. The question mark (?) is used when the 
    dictionary lookup does not yield the correct kanji. Pressing the
    enter key at this time will select nothing and return you back to 
    the Insert mode. To select an entry use the right arrow key and move 
    the cursor under . Press the enter key and  is displayed after 
    "ni"in the screen. Lastly enter the hiragana porition of "ikimasu" 
    and end the sentence with a period.

    Now that you are done entering you want to save your work. MOKE
    has several ways to save files. For this case we will use the
    F10 command that is listed on the STATUSLINE. Press F10. The  
    prompt 

      Write to file:

    is displayed on the ENTERLINE. Enter "myfile" for the
    file name and press the enter key. The file is saved so you can
    exit now. Press F9 to exit to DOS. 
         MOKE has a safety feature so you can not exit to DOS without
    first being asked to save the buffer if there were any changes. In
    this case if you had not saved the buffer before pressing F9, MOKE
    would have prompted you with

     File Modified. Save file (y/n)

    If you respond 'n' MOKE exits to DOS. If you respond 'y' MOKE prompts
    you similar to the F10 command, saves the file, and then exits to
    DOS. 


7.  INSERT Mode

    Entering in General

    Ascii and JIS Ascii are entered directly to the Display Window,
    while the romaji for the hiragana or katakana remains on the
    ENTERLINE until it forms a distinct kana character. A mark is
    set to look up Kanji characters or words, and to look up using 
    english. The romaji or english for lookup remains on the ENTERLINE
    until the enter key or one of the other lookup commands is pressed. 
         The enter key starts a newline, the tab key inserts a tab,
    and most of the symbols on your keyboard can be used. To return
    to CURSOR mode press the ESCAPE key. When ESCAPE is pressed 
    any characters on the ENTERLINE are lost.
         The commands "a", and "i" change the Display Window Mode to
    INSERT. The "i" or insert command starts inserting before the
    cursor, while the "a" or append command starts inserting after 
    the cursor. The operation of the back space key is described
    below.
