OK, just speaking with Tim (!) he says he would like to have a "Set as 
Current Peaks" in the Peak Table and then do the "Unite" option of the 
right mouse menu, as is done now except that it will work with the current 
selected peaks rather than what is under the mouse cursor.  I don't think 
this is that difficult to do (well, hopefully not, anyway).

I guess that this "tool" is then more complicated, I mean it won't be available now but maybe in a later version, correct?

But in general you wouldn't be able to see then all, which might be a bit disconcerting.  But is the reason you want this so that you can then unite the resonances for these peaks?  If so it might be better just to put a "unite" (or "align") option in the Peak Table in the first place.

I have like 800 peaks in the spectrum, so it's really hard to select them by hand! Can I do that as I tried to describe below... somehow from the peakslist menu? That would be favorable as I can see all the peaks directly and don't have to search through the spectrum. So my question is... instead of marking the peaks from this peaklist "MARK SELECTED" is there a way to directly "ACTIVATE THEM" (so that all marked peaks have a square)? I guess, I am not very clear in describing... do you understand what I try to say?

For example, currently in e.g. the peaklist one can click on a peak and say "Mark selected", so two lines appear and cross at the peak position. I think for the "unify resonance option" it would be great to have an option that (1) you select a bunch of peaks of 1 atom in the same amino acid (e.g. 6 ProCa), then (2) you can say "activate the peaks" (they all get a square around the cross and are RMM active) in the spectrum, (3) you go back to the spectrum and say RMM:Assign:Unify peaks. Since this is much easier than going through the spectrum and selecting all the peaks of interest by hand. Is there already a way to do that?
