This works. Thanks.

That is exactly what's in the wiki (Command/getmarking). To my
defence: The manual (chapter 12.4) is outdated, it lists:

  previous - the last of the previous page
  first    - the first of the actual page
  last     - the last of the actual page
  both     - first — last
  all      - previous — first — last

I have no idea what “first not top in sync” means, in contrast to
“first of the actual page”, which is quite clear but wrong on a
current MkIV.
