You don't.  Sigma and epsilon are nonbonded parameters that are introduced in an 
[atomtypes] directive before any [moleculetype] is defined.  See Chapter 5 of 
the manual.  Note that Gromos force fields do not use sigma and epsilon; you 
have to convert them to C6 and C12 (which have no relation to these C* 
constants, which are only take their names from data structures used in the code).
