POP Pop Top of Return Stack
Syntax: [
label
] POP
Operands: None
Operation: (TOS) bit bucket
Status Affected: None
Encoding: 0000 0000 0000 0110
Description: The TOS value is pulled off the return
stack and is discarded. The TOS value
then becomes the previous value that
was pushed onto the return stack.

PUSH Push Top of Return Stack
Syntax: [
label
] PUSH
Operands: None
Operation: (PC + 2) TOS
Status Affected: None
Encoding: 0000 0000 0000 0101
Description: The PC + 2 is pushed onto the top of
the return stack. The previous TOS
value is pushed down on the stack.
This instruction allows the user to
implement a software stack by
modifying TOS and then pushing it onto
the return stack.
