   Function to set up a kinetic model with one or more state variables.

 \description{
-  The function takes a specification, consisting of a list of the observed variables
-  in the data. Each observed variable is again represented by a list, specifying the 
-  kinetic model type and reaction or transfer to other observed compartments.
+  The function usually takes several expressions, each assigning a compound name to 
+  a list, specifying the kinetic model type and reaction or transfer to other
+  observed compartments. Instead of specifying several expressions, a list
+  of lists can be given in the speclist argument.
+
+  For the definition of model types and their parameters, the equations given
+  in the FOCUS and NAFTA guidance documents are used.
