I'm working on a new group analysis program which presumably would provide more reliable (and most likely more powerful as well) results. The program should also make this kind of regression analysis of yours easier to run. If you don't mind serving as a guinea pig, upload all your beta files plus their t-statistics and the 3 variables to AFNI:

afni.nimh.nih.gov]
Before answering your questions, I want to emphasize one thing about running this kind of regression analysis: always remove the mean from each variable so that it would be much easier to interpret the intercept.
Back to your questions:
> I'd also like to look at the effects of the control variables. My question is what do I put in the model flag?
If you want to see the overall effects of all 3 variables, add the following in your 3dRegAna script
-model 1 2 3 : 0
> Is there another help file (other than 3dregana) that explains this in more detail with examples?
