Re: A little lisp help

Ok this is what I have so far.

(defun curly-brace-region (m p)
  "Inserts curly braces around region and indents"
  (interactive "r")
;;   (message "mark=%d, point=%d" m p)
  (kill-region m p)
  (insert-string "{")
  (newline-and-indent)
  (insert-string "}")
  (newline-and-indent)
  (previous-line 2)
  (newline-and-indent)
  (yank 1)
  (kill-line)
  (next-line 1)
  (indent-region (- m 1) (point) nil))

(global-set-key "\M-]" 'curly-brace-region)

It works great when I mark a region and type: M-x curly-brace-region.

However, it doesn't work the same way when I M-]. In this case the
first curly brace is never inserted and the formatting is way off.

Anyone know why they would behave differently ?

Thanks.
