Eric, PyMOL's "fuse" command will merge two distinct objects into a one while forming a bond. For example:
fragment arg move y,8 fragment glu zoom fuse arg/n, glu/o delete arg zoom glu will create an arginine and a glutamine, and then copy the arginine into the glutamine object, while forming a bond from the amino nitrogen in ARG to the carbonyl carbon in GLU.
