gretl will do that automatically for you only if you're using OLS.
But you can do it yourself:

y = b1 + b2*x2 + b3*x3 + u

H0: b2 + b3 = 1

=> b3 = 1 - b2
=> y = b1 + b2*x2 + (1 - b2)*x3 + u
=> (y - x3) = b1 + b2*(x2 - x3) + u

So:

y = E - PUS
x = PAU - PUS
tsls y const x ; const <your instruments here>
