> I'm not really comfortable with the psuedo instructions

Josh,

I'd consider SKPZ SKPC etc as more pseudo-mnemonics than pseudo-
instructions

SKPZ for example is simply a briefer and more intelligible way of writing
BTFSS STATUS,2

Well, not in the way of skips, unless you used something like BZ $+4

You can add a macro to the program to define any pseudo-mnemonic
you want to use with any name that (you think !) makes sense

skpz     macro       ;or skip_z like Olin's
         btfss   status,2
         endm
