Dear Bill,
Precisely, this is what I am doing.

WALD; Labels=colb,
            colw,
            colc,
            tast,
            tex,
            smel,
            siz,
            pric,
            SD_colb,
            SD_colw,
            SD_colc,
            SD_tast,
            SD_tex,
            SD_siz,
            SD_smel,
            SD_pric
            ;start=b
            ;Var=Varb
            ;Fn1=-1*(colb/pric)
            ;Fn2=-1*(colw/pric)
            ;Fn3=-1*(colc/pric)
            ;Fn4=-1*(tast/pric)
            ;Fn5=-1*(tex/pric)
            ;Fn6=-1*(siz/pric)
            ;Fn7=-1*(smel/pric)$


When I double click the B matrix, I see one column with 15 entries in it.
How am  I supposed to use the entries in the specification above, since I
have arleady specified b as starting values?

Thanks,

Medard
