What's the command? right click on the word, and there's a menu command to add the word to your personal dict. aspell creates your personal words file by default at ~/.aspell.en.pws you can add or delete words there directly. to find out what keyboard shortcut or command is called when right click the menu item, you can use describe-key. > The second question: > > After successfully installed Flyspell with Aspell, I find that the input > speed of my keyboard is a little slow and panic.

Is it a good way? this solution is what i use. In fact, i use speck-mode (look at emacswiki.org for it). In my experience, it's faster, more robust. It doesn't do spell checking as you type though. It's batch, but faster than flyspell-buffer... ------------ spell checking is a critical feature of text editors. Spell checking frustration with Emacs on the Windows OS is a frequently asked question here. (the installation, configuration, is a huge pain in the ass even for professional unix sys admins and longtime emacs users) The GNU Emacs people, for some political, social , philosophical, or technical reasons, do not or will not make emacs work out of box on the Windows platform (their perspective may differ than the way i expressed it here). This, in my opinion, is a major problem of advancing emacs.
