It is quite possible that you are succeeding better than you think.  
This is the one problem that occurs occasionally that I still haven't 
figured out.  It is possible that you are successfully inputting the 
names but they are not displaying correctly.  If you send me an ontology 
with something typed in, I can figure out what is there and send some 
information back.  Alternatively cutting and pasting this text between 
applications occasionally lets you know if you have it right. If this is 
true we will need to do some more research or - hopefully - someone 
reading this will know the fix.

Also I can see from your screenshot that your font has been modified.  
This is a Protege 4 bug that we need to fix soon.  You only need to do 
the following once but you can fix the font by going to 
"File->Preferences" and clicking on the "Renderer" tab.  In there change 
the font to dialog or - depending on your system - dialog.plain.
