I'd like to swap the meaning of the pair of keys "[" and "]" with that
of "(" and ")" when in Lisp Mode.  That is, when I type a "[", I want
to see a "(", and similar with "]" and ")".  Why?  Because on my
keyboard, the parens are shifted while the brackets are not, and I'd
like to avoid all that shifting (a la Lispm keyboard).  I only want to
do this in Lisp Mode, so it seems I have to fool with lisp-mode-map.
But all my attempts, using define-key, have lost.  What's the trick?
People should mail to me directly, and I'll summarize (don't want to
fill the newsgroup with repeats).  Thanks.
