Well it seems "reply to author" doesn't post to the public board so for everyone's future benefit . . . I find the easiest way to address this by setting up a keyboard shortcut to through the keyboard preferences pane to select the next input method editor (IME). I set mine to cmd-space and change my default Spotlight shortcut to cmd-shift-space (I hardly open the full Spotlight window and when I need to I usually go through a Finder window, but I guess this has changed on Leopard). With this setup you can bring up QS then hit cmd-space to switch to English then type your command. This is troublesome however with more than two IMEs because you end up having to cycle back and forth rather than toggle. If you want, you can set up another shortcut that selects the previous IME instead of the next one. A better way might be to get the wonderful QIM Chinese IME <http:// glider.ismac.cn/RegQIME.html> It is far superior to Apple's default Chinese IME and it also allows you to switch between Chinese and Roman (English) input with the mere press of Caps Lock.
