Is there an easy way to save a couple of keystrokes here?  I'm working
with MCL 4.0.

1. Commented list.
  Suppose you're typing in a list with comments, keeping the end
parenthesis on the next line.  When you finish the list, is there an easy
way to get the parenthesis inside the comments.  Ex:

(  elt1 ;;
   elt2  ;;
   elt3 ;; comment
      )

Is there an easy way to move the last paren between elt3 and the comment? 

  
2. Function call. 

Suppose you have:

(defun foo (args ...)
   ...

and you want to type in a function call.  The args in the call often have
the same name as in the definition.  Then, cutting and pasting from the
definition and adding a parenthesis gives:

 (foo (args ..) 

  Is there an easy way to create the expression without the 2nd left
parenthesis? 

 Thanks.
