How do I define multistate characters as ordered in PAUP?

There are several ways to assign character types to specific characters in the data matrix. One way is to define a typeset in an assumption block and then use the assume command to set the character type. For example: begin assumptions; typeset myTypesetName = ord: 1 4 5; end; begin paup; assume typeset = myTypesetName; end; You can skip the assume command and set the character type from within the assumptions block if you precede the typeset name with an asterisk (“*”). For example: begin assumptions; typeset *myTypesetName = ord: 1 4 5; end; Yet another way to set character types is by using the ctype command from within a paup block or at the command line. For example the following command has the same effect as those given above: ctype ord:1 4 5; Back to questions If a patristic distance is the sum of branch lengths on a path between a pair of taxa, why do the summed branch lengths between a pair of taxa not add up to the patristic distance reported under the “describetrees” comman
