Dear Maarten,
I tried init() but it is also not allowed. As the same covariate can be in more than one equation, it would have to be possible so specify that the initial value was referring to the coefficient of this variable in this equation...
My dependent variables have: one of them) 40% of zeros and 60% of ones; the other) 67% of zeros and 37% of ones.

Yes, sometimes you can specify initial values with
the -init()- option.
Are any of your dependent variables very unequally
distributed? I already commented on your sample size,
which is a bit small for a model like -movestay-,
but if any of the dependent variables are very
unequally distributed, then this becomes a much more
serious problem.
