Not sure what this has to do with 'mined'.  Mined (like various other
applications) has its own means of entering arabic and is not dependant
on mlterm.  Simply start mined and press CTRL-K (capital K) and select
arabic and you should be fine (I had posted in the past day or two a
semi-detailed instruction list of what one needs to do to invoke and use
mined).

As noted being able to enter arabic in mlterm (not released yet -
ie. in CVS) is simply there for command-line entry and has nothing
to do with the various applications.

I will talk with you on IRC about your mlterm problem/solution (but again
it has nothing to do with mined and/or vim, etc).

Salam and thanks for looking into this !!
