place cursor automatically

[Uwe Mayer]

Hi,

When I use Emacs in a Programming Mode that uses "{" and "}" to enclose
blocks I'd like it to complete the closing brace automatically, or at least
jump into the Block when I enter the closing brace, so I want to reduce:

"{" <ret> "}" <up> <end> <ret> <tab>

to

"{" <ret> "}"

How do you do that, or where do you start off? Can that behaviour be
configured or will I habe to go into lisp?

Thanks 
Uwe
