O.K.  I created the special (KIS) resource file as your suggested, and I 
modified suitcase in accordance with the docs.  At first, everything 
appears to be OK.  KanjiTalk is loaded and you can enter text into the 
Text Input Window.  However, in that window I get a muddle of Kana 
characters and other junk.  (It looks to me like the double byte is 
getting drawn to the screen as both the Kana character and the two 
corresponding ASCII characters.)

Also, I am having some incredible memory and screen refresh problems.  At 
first, the desktop is drawn properly with 9 pt. Geneva (or whatever).  
When I select "About the Finder..." from the Apple Menu, the "about" 
dialog box takes forever to draw and, the whole thing is done in some 
sort of scaled font.  It showed over 1.7 megabytes of free memory in my 
2.5 meg Plus.  After I clicked the go-away box, it took about 30 seconds 
for the 'about' dialog to go away.  The desktop underneath was redrawn in
the same scaled font.  All future screen refreshes were in the same way.  
Eventually, the Mac just freezes up, or operates so molasses slow that I 
can't wait for it.

Any suggestions?

Note that I know my System file is OK because it runs fine by itself.  I 
also know that all my Kanji system stuff is OK because it works fine when 
I run it under Canon's 'System Switcher'.

Note that I am leaving this public because I know there are others out 
there trying to do the same thing I'm trying here.

We all appreciate your efforts to help us along.
