Also, thanks OP!
I was very accustomed to the double tap method, which DOES work in windows mobile...but it doesn't seem to work in this version...I've adjusted to a single tap then a tap of the Swype key.

I believe this is still a "pre-release" version of Swype...and thats really just about the only thing I've found that doesn't work the way I had hoped it would...maybe they'll either update the instructions to not say it will work, or update the software so it does in a future version...but I'm quite happy with it the way it is for now.

Looks good and I tried it but I prefer Better Keyboard with the iPhone skin over this one but your instructions were spot on.

Try reading the tutorial. To add words peck it in like normal, then hit the space bar, and it's added.
