This is a very old feature of tleap, and I would _not_ suggest trying to
use it. Such restraints are not specified in the topology file anymore
(and if a topology file with such restraints is used, sander and pmemd
will quit with an error message saying restraints cannot be specified in
the prmtop anymore).

So there is a difference between what restrainAngle used to do and what
setAngle does. The former adds what is effectively a restraint but does
not exclude non-bonded interactions between the restrained angle. The
setAngle command in ParmEd actually adds the angle directly to the
topology, meaning that the atoms involved in that angle are excluded
from each others' nonbonded interactions.
If you _do_ want the exclusions, then use setAngle in ParmEd. If you do
_not_ want the exclusions, then use NMR-style restraints. ParmEd is
described in the AmberTools manual (with a description of setAngle), and
the NMR restraints are described in the Amber manual in chapter 6.
Good luck,
Jason
