Thanks Matthias, that's exactly what I need. My googling was inadequate!

With a universal app on an M1 Mac, you can set a checkbox in the "Get Info" properties inspector of the app to "Open using Rosetta". But this checkbox only affects launching the app from the Finder. If you check this box on a universal binary, then launch it from the Terminal, it always runs the 'native' code.
