[Mesquitelist] Calculating sum of branch lengths for clades

Dear all,

I am trying to calculate total branch lengths within different clades  
in a tree. Preferably also accounting for the number of taxa in each  
clade. I installed the Tuatara package for Mesquite in order to try  
the "Total Phylogenetic Diversity" option, but I cannot find or use  
this option.
Can anybody help me with this?

Thank you,

Jon
