Ah, yes, I've seen that (I'm MaDa on EmacsWiki), a very nice tutoarial
on prefix keys. But, if I interpret the page correctly, there is no
description on how to use <apps> as a *modifier* key, i.e. one like
Shift, Control or Alt.

I'd love to have an extra modifier key that I can use together with
the full range of "normal" keys to bind new commands.

Maybe this is not possible at all, maybe those keys are,
hardware-wise, special?
