Dear Ben:
I now have a clearer view. It worked with a basic example:
regress y var1 var2 var3.
I refer to a problem I mentioned earlier and which was solved by the second solution you proposed originally (the one with the program prsign, eclass): in my estout output, I want to have the results of two regressions:
regress y var1 var2
regress y var1 var2 var3.
In the predicted signs column, I need to have the three variables var1, var2 and var3, although the first model only uses var1 and var2.
It seems to me that your latest solution (with tempname b) is related to only one model.
Best regards
Herv�

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 ?)
