Word at cursor

Word at cursor

[Peter Lee]

I have a lisp function that I would like to bind to a key such that
when I press a key it will call my function and pass as a parameter
the word under the cursor.

I know this is probably trivial, but I'm not familiar with lisp at all
and any pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks.
