Tim,

The keysyms you are looking for are defined in the file 
/usr/X11/include/ap_keysym.h. The one on my system looks like:

There is a widely used Emacs profile here at Apollo that binds these keys and
many of the standard ones to their corresponding Emacs functions so that
Emacs and the DM use the same key for the same function. It makes 
transitioning to Emacs in shared-mode X much easier.

Carl
