This command stores the IDs of entity_type that exist on mark_id on the user mark. Valid mark_ids are 1 and 2. Only one user mark exists for each entity_type.

The user mark is accessed either through the command hm_getusermark or through panel input collectors, *createmark and *appendmark via the "retrieve" option.

To create a mark of elements 1-3, save it to the element user mark and retrieve it later:

hm_createmark elems 1 1 2 3
*marktousermark elems
*clearmark elems 1
…
*createmark elems 1 "retrieve"

   # Handle error
