         >Description:
         User at first wanted to know how to include the CODE field from MR(CON)SO in DataFileBuilder and (presumably) how to use it in MetaMap.
         
         I told him that neither DFB nor MetaMap handled the CODE field.
         
         The user then wrote back asking how to create MRCON.mesh, which DFB uses.

         There is no problem to reproduce. My response to the user was

         First of all, thanks for your kind words about MetaMap!
         
         MRCON.mesh (or MRCONSO.mesh in the Rich Release Format) can indeed be created using MetamorphoSys. It's simply a version of MRCON(SO) that contains data from only the MeSH source vocabulary. There are a number of ways to create this file. Here's how to do it in MetamorphoSys:
         
         In addition to generic steps in MetamorphoSys that are not specific to MeSH, the specific steps you need to follow to create a MeSH-only MRCON using MetamorphoSys are:
         (1) In "Select Default Subset Configuration", choose "Level 0", and then select "OK".
         (2) You'll next see a window called "Metathesaurus Configuration 20XXAB Data File Format".
               * In the "Input Options" tab, choose "NLM Data File Format".
               * In the "Source List" tab, make sure the "INCLUDE" radio button is checked.
               * Click on the "Source Family" column to sort all sources by source family.
               * Scroll down to "Medical Subject Headings, 20YY...", and select that vocabulary; several other vocabularies in the MSH Source Family (translations of MeSH into French, German, etc.) will be selected.
               * Make sure all and only source vocabularies in the MSH family are selected for inclusion.
               * Select any filters you want using "File --> Enable/Disable Filters", e.g., in the Unicode tab, you will probably want to choose "Convert non-ASCII Unicode characters to ASCII characters.
         
         Let me know if that works for you.
