[Mesquitelist] Tree sample manipulation

[Joseph Warren Brown]

Y'All,

I have a tree sample log file (from MrBayes) containing X trees for N  
taxa. I want to remove Y taxa (e.g. outgroup) from each tree and  
re-save the log file (i.e. X trees with N-Y taxa). I can successfully  
load the trees and the character matrix in Mesquite, as well as define  
the relevant taxon groups. However, when I try to delete the taxa they  
are only remove from the character matrix.

Suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.
Joseph.
