Dr. Thomas P. Blinn and Peter Reynolds quickly replied with the following
information:
PC is program counter
RA is return address
SP is stack pointer
PS is processor status
And a link to the documentation:

Thanks for the help! This was the first time I had requested information
from the group and it was right on the money!
Thanks!
