Frank, et al:

Perhaps I am incorrect here, in that if the engine maintains an index 
of marked cards, "unmark all cards" can simply empty the index, 
rather than set a property on each card.  But the Transcript 
Dictionary lists "mark" as a card property; so that leads me to 
assume "mark [or unmark] all cards" sets the property on each card.

I'd need to do some timing tests to get beyond idle conjecture; but 
if forced to bet, my money is on mark/unmark all cards touching every 
card in a stack.
