-    A list of observed variables to be modelled. Each observed variable has to be

-    \code{type}{ The type of kinetics to use for the variable. Currently, only
-      single first order kinetics "SFO" or single first order with reversible binding
-      "SFORB" are implemented. }

-      in the model. }
-    \code{sink}{ Boolean, specifying if transformation to unspecified compounds (sink) 
-      is to be assumed in the model. }
+  \item{...}{
+    For each observed variable, a list has to be specified as an argument, containing
+    at least a component \code{type}, specifying the type of kinetics to use
+    for the variable. Currently, only single first order kinetics "SFO" or
+    single first order with reversible binding "SFORB" are implemented, as well as
+    "FOMC" for the first compartment which is assumed to be the source compartment.
+    Optional components of each argument are \code{to}, a vector of names of
+    variables to which a transfer is to be assumed in the model, and
+    \code{sink}, a logical specifying if transformation to unspecified
+    compounds (sink) is to be assumed in the model (defaults to \code{TRUE})
