Join end point to path
I am a student at university, and I need to be able to join end points to paths without having the enter the live paint. This would give higher editing capability, and allows me to keep the stylized stroke options like calligraphy.

Ah, now I see.
Yep, Illustrator can’t do that form the box.
There is, however a plugin (a paid one), Extend Path from AstuteGraphics, that allow to extend a path (in different modes) until it meets another one.This path, however, won't get glued magically in a single shape, you’d have to group them both or make a compound path...
So there is also a request about making Ai to actually glue objects. It's harder than it seems (like what will happen if you change the curve another path is glued to? how should Ai calculate a new glue point and how should it deform the path that is glued?)
Vote for it here:

Chris, I dont' get it, sadly. There is a way to close path with Ctrl+J, but I assume it's not waht you want. Can you draw a pic to clarify your request, please?
