Emacs key bindings for Interactive at386 console

I believe some time ago, while I was half asleep, I saw in this group
a file GNU-emacs elisp-style key bindings for the system console
terminal type at386 that one gets with Interactive's 386/ix. At
the time, I wasn't interested, but now I am (funny how things
change). I found out how to determine the sent key codes for
the at386 keypad and function keys, using ctrl-q to quote keystrokes
in emacs. And no doubt after a few days' work I could figure out
how to set up some semi-intelligent key bindings for emacs, perhaps
by studying the existing .el files and plowing further into
Texinfo.

But being inherently lazy, and also under some pressure to actually
get some real work done now and then (what is the problem with bosses,
anyway), I thought I would cast myself on the public dole again.
So whoever might be the person in the know on this vital topic,
please do tell.

Severely yours,
