"\\" gives an error message, unknown keysym

Thanks. (I personally think this convention is weird.)

That gives the "end of file" error message I described earlier (quoting
character problem). But you fixed it too:

This works, but emacs complains: "Unknown modifier"! 

My method with ?\134 seems to be the best for the compiler, 
hard to read but I can add a comment.  This seems to be a case 
where using octal is the only way to get quiet compilation. (Maybe?)

Anyway, I'm satisfied.

how to send ")"

[Joe Corneli]

(This is sort of related to my last questio)

(defalias 'rightparen
  (read-kbd-macro ")"))

causes the compiler to complain.

Work around?

Well, read-kbd-macro probably does not return a function name.  Why
not the following?

(defun rightparen ()
  (interactive)
  (insert ")"))
