Tool Comment

The Tool Comment appears at the top of the Script View window, and contains any comments about the custom tool’s purpose or behavior that its author chose to add. Adjust the size of the Tool Comment by dragging the divider bar beneath it, and add to, or change the Tool Comment by typing. If you create new custom tools you plan to share with other Sketchpad users, use the Tool Comment to describe the tool’s given objects, to identify yourself as the tool’s author, and to explain how the tool should be used.

Any comments you add are saved with the tool, so you—or another Sketchpad user—can always refer to them when using the tool. When a Script View construction is printed, the comment is printed with the rest of the construction.
