Nothing like replying to your own post!!
As I thought at the beginning (before I had been told to find someone who knew
something about computers!), MS-IME is for inputting characters that are not
on the keyboard, like Japanese, Korean, Chinese etc. It would appear that I
am right (tho' I would be happy to be corrected by you lot) that an IME
doesn't enter the picture when one is inputting English, from an English
keyboard, to an English program. And anyway, IME is not a generic term, but
an M$ one.
