RE: elisp questions for Advanced Closing brackets function

[TheLonelyStar <nabble@lonely-star.org>]

Hi,

Thanks for your help! I am sorry if I should have found this information in
the manual.
What do you mean by the "onboard elisp manual"?
This:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/elisp.html ?

I have a another question for which I did not find an answer in the link
above:
I want the closing-parentese function to be more general.
I want to call the same funciton for "]", ")" and "}".
So i would bind this function to all these keys.
But how can the function know by which key it was invoked?
I thought, the key would be given as argument ... but if it is I do not know
how to format the argument to the correct character.

Thanks!
Nathan
