Some weeks ago I sent a query to the net on the use of Arabic on
an IBM PC compatible (UK version). No replies were received,
so I try again!

     What I am looking for is any type of hardware/software
which will allow me to write and print arabic characters on
a UK version of a PC compatible. The main use is for standard
word processing, and something that would work in conjunction
with WordPerfect would be ideal. Does anyone know of such a
product?. It has to do more than just produce arabic characters
on the screen and printer using complex key stroke combination, 
but actually redefine the keyboard as large chunks of text will
be written in Arabic rather than just the odd characters.

     Any suggestions/information would be very gratefully
received.

Thanks in advance
