Dear Group,
I am attaching a keyboard file for NHM Writer, this can be downloaded
from here:
http://software.nhm.in/Products/NHMWriter/tabid/55/Default.aspx

During installation, choose language as "Hindi". Once done, run NHM
Writer, you should see a Bell shaped icon on your task bar. Click on
this, and click settings. Click Import (Keymap). We need to import a
new keymap file designed for Unicode 5.1 fonts, get this file from
here:
http://groups.google.com/group/MyanmarUnicode/web/Zawgyi_Unicode_5_1_Keyboard_2009_March_30.zip

Once you have succucefully imported, you should see Myanmar in the
grid view. Click the check box to active Myanmar keyboard and assign
Alt+3 as the toggle key to active this keyboard. Now clicking Alt + 3,
should get your Myanmar and clicking Alt + 0 will de-active NHM.

One short coming of this keyboard is the lack of Ctrl, Alt
combination. If you rely on using Ctrl+Alt for stacked (PaSint)
entry, than you will now need to use with Forward Tick (`) key on your
keyboard, usually called Dead Key or Zaw Gyi key. We have tried to
make this Keyboard as complete as possible and have also added "Symbol
Key" feature and have extended this to include the whole keyboard
instead of just punctuation marks. Hence typing Close Square Bracket
']' and any other key on the keyboard should result in US Eng outputs.

This is of course, a preview release, would like to gain feedback on
this. Thanks.
