I wonder how you can get chinese-py-punct as the default input method in XEmacs. After
M-x set-input-method RET chinese TAB
XEmacs offers only
chinese-egg-pinyin chinese-egg-zhuyin
XEmacs comes with no other Chinese input methods.
Yes, I used emacs.
I don't know of any other Chinese input methods for XEmacs.
But both XEmacs and Emacs support XIM.
Why not use scim-pinyin in both XEmacs and Emacs?
scim-pinyin is probably much better than the Chinese input methods included in (X)Emacs anyway.
The problem is that not all users use this. I am working in the context of grammar development (i.e. linguistic research that tries to develop computational grammars for various languages). So users may not be speakers of Chinese. Therefore xim might not be installed (and the locales are set to German or English ...). But the grammar development system uses emacs and if I can use input methods that are shipped with emacs, that is a good thing. But you are right, the scim stuff is better in principle.
