Overiding Tool type script assumption. 'Click to insert.'

Does anyone know why Tool type scripts assume I want to insert an object first? Is there a setting that I am not aware of?

In the temp tool help message area, top left of window, the message...'MyToolName Click to insert.' is displayed. This occurs even when I attempt to reset the TempToolHelp message prior to the GetPt comand in my script. My message didn't display until I attempted to place my symbol later on in the script.

There are NNA tool scripts that don't place objects, such as Fillet.

It would also be more appropriate for the selection box appear instead of the tiny cross hair when selecting my first point as this is when I am selecting a PIO I created prior. Then I place my symbol using the data extracted from the PIO instance.

I'm not sure what a command for temporarily changing the cursor type would be called or what class it should be a part of.

The need for books with good indexes and examples of use is not over but is frequently lacking for many pieces of software these days. Too costly I guess.
