[ESPResSo-users] question on "tutorial.tcl"

Hello,
I have a question on "tutorial.tcl" in espresso/samples folder.

In lines 168~186 (attached below), specifically in lines 168 and 185 (highlighted),
1)
what is "0" in line 168 (inter 0 fene 7.0 2.0)?  
The user manual says it's "bondid" and I guess it's a bond between monomers.  
But I don't see presetting for it anywhere in the tcl script.  I mean it's all of sudden showed up.
If I have more than two types of bonds in a simulation, 
can I just set different bondid for each and use like "inter $bond_1 fene 7.0 2.0", "inter $bond_2 harmonic 7.0 2.0"?

2)
what does "FENE 0" mean in line 185?
In user manual, I don't see FENE option for syntax "polymer".
If this means FENE interaction between monomers, would monomers interact via FENE potential TWICE ?
so, what are K and Rmax values for this FENE potential??
