Or, if you really only want to find out to what keys a command is bound,
there's also

,----[ C-h k C-h w ]
| C-h w runs the command where-is, which is an interactive compiled Lisp 
function
| in `help.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-h w, <f1> w, <help> w.
| 
| (where-is DEFINITION &optional INSERT)
| 
| Print message listing key sequences that invoke the command DEFINITION.
| Argument is a command definition, usually a symbol with a function definition.
| If INSERT (the prefix arg) is non-nil, insert the message in the buffer.
`----

Bye,
