if you have bone limits set or free limits in "prospective viewport" ,click and hold the bud / end tip of the bone and it should rotate
depending on which mouse button you have held the bone will rotate in that axis ,i haven't worked in the animation modes for while but anim8or version 0.81 the rotate bone controls were X axis = left mouse button
Y axis = middle mouse button [or hold Alt and use right mouse]
Z axis = right mouse button

another tip is this:

sometimes you have to rotate your object with the acr rotate tool for a bone to move in the direction you want it to move.
I think anim8or should have widgits for bone rotation...it helps alot!!!
