you can always just type "ID" and pick a point, that will display the northing & easting.
here, try this, it's not the prettiest, it originally did dtext but i modified it to place mtext and i just never cleaned up the code, it's not something i use on a regular basis, just eeeeeeeeeeevry once in a while.
;get id
;this routine gets the id of a point and places text (with or without a leader) at that pont
