Solve a system of 3, 2nd order Boundary value problems

Hello, I want to solve a system of 3 boundary value equations. All three of them are 2nd order. Now I have created my dydx by converting them into 6 ODE's. Since they are huge equations (almost 30 lines) I can give you a gist of them. Baiscally its d2y1/dx +dy1/dx+dy2/dx+dy3/dx+y1+y2+y3+x = const d2y2/dx +dy1/dx+dy2/dx+dy3/dx+y1+y2+y3+x = const d2y3/dx +dy1/dx+dy2/dx+dy3/dx+y1+y2+y3+x = const
I know the boundary values of these. They are: y1(0) = 0.6; y1(20) = 0 y2(0) = 0.3; y2(20) = 0 y3(0) = 0.005; y3(20) = 0
So how do I write the bcfun and the solinit for this problem. I wrote the odefun by converting the above equations into a set of 6, 1st order ODE's.
If you can help me with the syntax ( just a small part of it) that will great
Thanks, Nitin Nair

see matlab demo in help. It will make you clear. Put bvp4c or bvp5c in that help. you may see the syntax in there.
