Most of these are finish attributes. Here's what is available:

ambient float | color
diffuse float
specular float
roughness float
brilliance float

The "roughness" keyword controls specular, it may not be equivalent to 
whatever anim8or "rough" is. I don't know what "emissive" could be. 
Transparency is usually defined as part of the color, specifying it as 
part of an image_map is a bit trickier, and it can not be defined by an 
image. There is a bump_map feature which is part of the normal 
statement. POV is a bit more limited in that many things are only 
specified as floats or constant colors. The finish diffuse item is just 
a scaling factor for the pigment color. The syntax is fully described in 
the manual.
