The Default Mini Map Won't Go Away

Patch 3.3 seems to have removed the ability to turn off the default mini map.  The Solo MMO Player hasn't been able to find an Off button in the interface, so has been typing the following command in the Say command line.  Note the upper and lower case letters and the spaces.  Also there is no space between the opening paragraph symbol ( and the closing ) which is why it looks like a zero below)

/script MinimapCluster:Hide()

Apparently the command to turn it back on is the following, but the Solo MMO Player hasn't tested this.

/script MinimapCluster:Show()

I found these commands on the WOW Wiki.  I'm still looking for a permanent fix as this has to be typed every time you log into a character.  It doesn't work across all characters and the mini map will be back the next time you log in.

The Solo MMO Player tried to make a macro using the above commands minus the /script part but says that doesn't work.  By the way, Blizzard's Patch notes for 3.3 has some info about changes to the map.  It's about half way down the page.

The above info rewritten.
