Summary:  " ESC ( H"  sequence is buggy.


Please DO NOT use " ESC ( H"  sequence.

It is wrong/incorrect/bogus/buggy sequence to " goto JISRoman code." 

Because once upon a time some confusions were occured in Japan, some many
people think that

	" Return to ASCII"  sequence is " ESC ( H." 

This idea is incorrect, PERFECTLY.
To say correct,

	" Go to JISRoman"  sequence is " ESC ( J," 
	
instead of above.  O.K.?

Thus you must write as follows;

	go to kanji:		" ESC $ B"  or " ESC $ @" 
	go to ASCII(UK):	" ESC ( B" 
	go to JISRoman:		" ESC ( J" 

" ESC ( H"  sequence is not correct at all.

And as Dr.Wada in U.Tokyo said, TAB/NEWLINE (any control characters) need NOT
be exclude from kanji sequence. Some many kanji applications can not handle
articles such as including TAB/NEWLINE within kanji seqence.
(For example, A?C?? jc?t)

The news article posted by Mis. H.Kudo from DEC-J included TAB/NEWLINE codes
within kanji sequence. Sadly to say we could not read it. (by normal way.
But, now we succeeded to read it at last. :-<  )

Anyway, please do not use " ESC ( H"  sequence any more.
