Marco> The ispell local dictionary is not saved. IIRC this was discussed on GNU Emacs's developer list, and aspell was simply not compatible with ispell in this respect. I suspect they did fix it; you could try getting a copy of GNU Emacs's ispell.el and seeing if that will "just work"; it might. It would need to be a very recent version from their CVS. In the meantime, we'll see what we can do but I don't know how long it will take (eg, I personally rarely use any of those programs and have never ever used flyspell). -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
