rlog does not recognize multiple $est steps captured to separate files.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Per M. Dodds:

You may consider raiding the .ctl file for all of the $EST steps to determine 
if a FILE statement was used, and perhaps collect those in the rlog() return 
structure, adding a column to indicate which FILE the estimates came from.  In 
the event that no FILE was specified, that column would be “XXX.ext” and 
otherwise look very similar to the current output.  Or,  perhaps a parameter 
like “estfile” to PLOTR and the like that’s defaulted to 
glue(run,”.ext”) which could be a character vector.  That wouldn’t trip 
up default use (no FILE specified in $EST), but would allow one to get into 
detail about the estimation results for multiple $EST steps.

Similarly, rlog does not recognize multiple est steps captured in a single file.

I have gone through the code base exhaustively.  I can't find anywhere that a 
single $EST method is assumed, in the literal sense (but see below).  
read.nmctl() will simply return multiple elements named $est if they are 
present.  

Granted, it is a pain to manipulate just one of the multiples, since you cannot 
address it unambiguously by name.  The same is true for multiple omegas, etc.  
In such cases, we could possibly substitute a numbered list with the same name 
(but that could break a lot of existing code).

iterations() does scavenge lines with "ITERATION NO." from the *.lst file.  If 
more than one $EST produces such lines, confusion could result. iterations() is 
called by PLOTR() for standard diagnostic plotting after each run.

xyplotExt() digests the *.ext file, and possibly assumes too much.  This is a 
standalone function.

as.unilog.pxml also digests the *.ext file, and is in turn invoked by 
omegacor(), sigmacor(), and especially rlog().

substituting numbered lists e.g. replace this ...

str(ctl)
List of 16
 $ sizes      : chr [1:2] 
 $ problem    : chr [1:2]
 $ input      : chr [1:5]
 $ data       : chr [1:3] 
 $ subroutines: chr [1:2] 
 $ model    : chr[1:3] 
 $ pk         : chr [1:40]
 $ des        : chr [1:12] 
 $ error      : chr [1:27]
 $ theta      : chr [1:11] 
 $ omega      : chr [1:11] 
 $ omega      : chr [1:3] 
 $ sigma      : chr [1:4]
 $ est        : chr [1:3] 
 $ est        : chr [1:3] 
 $ est        : chr[1:3]

with this ... 

str(ctl)
List of 13
 $ sizes      : chr [1:2] 
 $ problem    : chr [1:2]
 $ input      : chr [1:5]
 $ data       : chr [1:3] 
 $ subroutines: chr [1:2] 
 $ model    : chr[1:3] 
 $ pk         : chr [1:40]
 $ des        : chr [1:12] 
 $ error      : chr [1:27]
 $ theta      : chr [1:11] 
 $ omega      : List of 2
  ..$ chr [1:11] 
  ..$ chr [1:3] 
 $ sigma      : chr [1:4]
 $ est        : List of 3
  ..$ : chr [1:3]
  ..$ : chr [1:3]
  ..$ : chr [1:3]

see xlog in version 5.38.
