Ahhh, ok, I feel better now.  :)  Yes, on the box running RH 7.1 J, I can 
do all that.  On the English box with Japanese support, I can send Japanese 
email in Pine (though not Sylpheed) and input Japanese in vi.
On the box running RH 7.1 J, with Japanese as the default language, I can 
pretty much do anything, including inputting kanji as text in GIMP.

Thanks
