Microcoding the 36XX?

Anyone out there have any information or documents related to defining new microcoded instructions for the Symbolics 36xx series of machines?  I've been fooling around with my 3630 and I thought it'd be a fun experiment to try to create an instruction or two, since I've never had opportunity to work with a microcoded system before. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any information at all about the details of the available micro-ops or the format of the microcode files loaded by the FEP.
 
Any information would be appreciated,
 
Thanks!
Josh
