Hi Bob, Good to hear the program is helpful for your quest.
As for your purpose, does the ‘Mark Packet’ feature do the trick? Select a packet from the list, hit ⌘M (on macOS) / probably Ctrl+M (on others). You can also find the option in the Edit menu. Unfortunately these marks are not (yet) saved to the capture file, but remain as long as the capture is loaded.
