Actually, no, kterm doesn't have an input mechanism.  There is one, however,
called Wnn that is also bundled in with R4.  I don't know how it
interfaces with
kterm but it does have an interface with the japanese gnu-emacs.  There is also
mlterm (multi-language term) that does have some support for chinese
and japanese, but now I'm the one that doesn't know the details.
