In article <326@manta.UUCP> I write:
>I'd like to swap the meaning of the pair of keys "[" and "]" with that

The cleanest solution (due to weemba@garnet) is the following:

(defun insert-lp () (interactive) (insert ?\())
(defun insert-rp () (interactive) (insert ?\)) (blink-matching-open))
(defun insert-lb () (interactive) (insert ?\[))
(defun insert-rb () (interactive) (insert ?\]))
(define-key lisp-mode-map "(" 'insert-lb)
(define-key lisp-mode-map ")" 'insert-rb)
(define-key lisp-mode-map "[" 'insert-lp)
(define-key lisp-mode-map "]" 'insert-rp)

Thanks to all who replied.   Happy Gnu Year! -b
