When I do "M-x flyspell-auto-correct-word" a number of alternative 
spellings are offered in the minibuffer, but I don't know how to select 
a correction from these, nor is it apparent how to create my own 
correction.

tnx for the reply,
ken

= Maybe you want to quickly auto-correct? If so, you can easily bind that

= 
= ;; correct and expand last bad word
= (global-set-key (kbd "<f2>") 'flyspell-auto-correct-word) 
= 
= This works surprisingly well for simple typos.
