Dear Ben:

Sorry again but could you disregard my previous e-mail. I simply had forgotten one variable. I try again.

Herv�, I would do something like the following (this 
answers both your questions):

  sysuse auto
  regress price mpg weight foreign
  estimates store model1
  tempname b
  matrix `b' = e(b)
  matrix `b'[1,1] = -999   //neg. sign for mpg
  matrix `b'[1,2] = +999   //pos. sign for weight
  matrix `b'[1,3] = .z     //no sign for foreign
  matrix `b'[1,4] = 998    //? for _cons
  eret2 matrix signs = `b'
  estimates store pred
  estout pred model1, cells("signs(pat(1 0)) b(pat(0))") ///
    substitute(-999 - 999 + 998 ?)
