 MEANING: NONMEM control records
 CONTEXT: NONMEM input file

 DISCUSSION:
 NONMEM control records contain the instructions to NONMEM.  The set of
 control  records  is called the NONMEM control stream.  These are dif-
 ferent from NM-TRAN control records.

 When NM-TRAN is used, NM-TRAN creates the NONMEM control stream  in  a
 file  named  FCON.   When NM-TRAN is not used, the user must create it
 himself.

 Each NONMEM control record begins with a 4-character  preface  (record
 label)  which identifies the record.  They are listed here in the same
 order in which they must appear in the NONMEM control stream.
