WOW! I appreciate the response. (The bad news... Sorry) It doesn't create the selector mechanism which allows the alternates to be chosen. I "think" while looking for the recognizer I saw a reg entry set to make a different default input. Should I look that up again or do you also already know the selector information?

Update:
The selector in "Settings\Personal\Input" now has entries - just the 'caret' beside the icon for on-the-fly changing is missing.

The following is permanent change to the default input method (holds through soft reset) and does NOT allow selection by the user. (This is a registry edit and should be used at your own risk! It worked for me after an initial soft reset to read the new values.) For edit purposes, notice that it is only a 2 number 'change'.

Using a registry editor change "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip" value "DefaultIM" to (choose one):

Default Keybrd{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Letter Recognizer {42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Block Recognizer {42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}.
