Yep, markers (or memory locations) are created with the Enter key on the num pad. You can set them to either auto name or you can type a name for each new marker in the dialog. To access a marker, you press decimal, the number of the marker and then decimal again. To select between marker locations, hold down the shift key when moving to the second marker. For example, let's say you have marker 1 and marker 2 set. To select between them, first press decimal, 1, decimal to get to the first marker location. Then, while holding down the shift key, press decimal, 2, decimal. This will create the selection.
There's much more involved if you'd like to get fancier with Pre/Post roll times, track show/hide, etc. but that's the basic concept.
