Hi everyone! Vanakkam.

I am an ethnic Tamil from Malaysia. Only few days ago I discovered 
Mozilla, and have since become a convert and, probably, an evangelist 
:-) I see a lot of potential in Mozilla! Unfortunately, Mozilla is yet 
to be localised in my native tongue, Tamil.

Anyway, in order to get a 'feel', I downloaded MT 5.02 (thanks  Henrik 
Lynggaard!) and followed the instructions given in the documentation 
that came along with it. Everything was fine, except that I am not able 
to type in Tamil characters -- whether in Unicode Tamil (Latha) or the 
standard Tamil encoding, TSCII 1.7.

I know for most of you Tamil will be as alien as Martians are to 
earthlings, but if you could give me some leads -- any leads -- it will 
be of great help, and much appreciated.

Cheers,
elan
