	You are right.  I went back and checked and the documentation and fileset
that I am working from is the Script Manager Developer's Package (although I
also have the Kanji System) and it is dated 2/6/87.  In this document there is
a section called "Testing With the Script Manager" which discusses how t
install the Kanji and Arabic Interfaces which come with the Script Manager
Developer's Package.  The disucssion involves files named KIS (for Kanji Intf
System) and AIS (for Arabic Intf System).

	O.K.  I opened up the KIS file on my Developer's Disk and contained inside
where the following resources:
	FOND  - Kyoto & Sapporro
	FONT  - Kyoto 12, 18 & Sapporro 12
	itl0  - "Japanese"
	itl1	- "Japanese"
	itl2	- "Japanese"
	itlb	- "Japanese"
	KCHR	- "Kana"
	SICN	- (There are four of them, you need all four!)

Also, don't forget to pu tt the INITs from the System Folder that go along with
the Kanji System (the one with the Mountain ICON and the one with the Dictionary
ICON) into your System Folder. The one last thing to do is to rename Suitcase
to !Suitcase so that it loads in your resources before the INIT tries to use
them.

	I hope that this helps out, if you still can not get this working feel free
to send me mail directly and maybe we can get you up and running!!
