As Keith wrote, Center averaging should do what you want, either in
the Python or old XPLOR interface. Perhaps there's a problem with the
syntax? Brief examples of setting up the noe term can be found in
python/tests/noeTest*.py
and in
test/noetest*.inp

If you can find a case where the distance is definitely not between
the atom in the first selection and the center position of the atoms
in the second, it is a bug, and I'd like to know about it.

best regards--
