Nope, it will not allow you to do so. Automatic means the computer processes the waitlist, i.e. the next available position will be given to the person who has the highest waitlist position for the lecture (need not be 1) AND highest for the section he/she waitlists for (need to be 1).

Manual means the department, or the professor, can cherry-pick which students to admit to the class, meaning if you are a graduating senior and you absolutely need to take that class, even if your waitlist position is over 9000, you will still get in before everyone else.

Telebears, unfortunately, are not smart enough to let somebody take the spot of his/her friend, so you have to go to the back of the waitlist and start from there like everyone else.
