Dear professor  George Sheldrick,
I am so sorry to bother you again!
From the shelxc_fa.lst file, we can find that  the Patterson peaks will be 
selected only when the 'Mult' equal to 1.0000.
shelxc_fa.lst:
Patterson (* indicates vector selected for search)

    X       Y       Z    Height   Mult   Length

  0.0000  0.0000  0.0000  999.9  0.0435    0.00 
  0.0553  0.0553  0.0159   43.8  0.5000    5.22
  0.5511  0.0000  0.5000   33.8  0.2500   99.53
  0.9102  0.8730  0.0163   31.7  1.0000    9.29 *
But in <Substructure solution with SHELXD>, I found this sentence
...A random selection of vectors from the Patterson peak
list (excluding Harker peaks), biased so that the high peaks
are chosen more often...
It seem that the Patterson peaks are selected randomly.So I am very confused. 
Can you give me a short introduction about the  'mult' indicates and the rule 
of peaks selection?
Thank you very much!
Best wishes!
