sa swap a swap the first 2 elements at the top of stack a.
sb swap b swap the first 2 elements at the top of stack b.
ss swap sa and sb at the same time.
pa push a take the first element at the top of b and put it at the top of a. Do nothing if b is empty.
pb push b take the first element at the top of a and put it at the top of b. Do nothing if a is empty.
ra rotate a shift up all elements of stack a by 1. The first element becomes the last one.
rb rotate b shift up all elements of stack b by 1. The first element becomes the last one.
rr rotate ra and rb at the same time.
rra reverse rotate a shift down all elements of stack a by 1. The last element becomes the first one.
rrb reverse rotate b shift down all elements of stack b by 1. The last element becomes the first one.
rrr reverse rotate rra at rrb the same time.
