[Limdep Nlogit List] restrictions on coefficients in mixed logit, etc

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with restrictions on coefficients in all discrete choice
models except the latent class logit.

For example, if I estimate the following model:

lclogit;Lhs=Y;Choices=yes,no;Rhs=x,y,z;pds=3;lcm;pts=2;
rst=b1,b2,b3,0,0,0$

NLogit will constrain the coefficients in the second class to zero.

But, if I estimate the scaled model:

smnlogit;Lhs=Y;Choices=yes,no;Rhs=x,y,z;pds=3;halton;pts=25;
rst=0,b2,b3$

It produces output as if the restriction was not given (i.e., it estimates
a number for b1).

I've searched the manual and it says restrictions should work in these
models (unless I've missed something, I haven't read every word).

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

John Whitehead
