Good idea!  I think it will be very helpful to people who use uim, or any  
conversion input method, for the first time.  I was told that uim's key  
usage was almost same as jmode's and found a how-to page* in Anthy Wiki,  
but couple of key combinations don't seem to work.  Since uim and anthy is  
going to be the default input method for Japanese in a major distribution,  
maybe it's time to make a tutorial?  In my opinion, the page should  
consist of three sections: Before entering conversion mode, In conversion  
mode and How to get special characters.

I didn't know that.  Thank you.  What I have found so far is:

xa, xi, xu, xe, xo to get samll a, i, u, e, o as in MS-IME.

I could find them all by intuition.  ;-)
