LOL.  So it isn't...  I'd just assumed it because I knew that the reverse
of "markauto" was "unmarkauto". I had tested it, though.  I'd just run into
a problem with Wine - new version from Edgy segfaults immediately - so I'd
reinstalled the Dapper version from winehq and held it, so I did an unhold
and it worked.
