How do I add a crosshair marker to a plot using SKILL?

I can see the functions awvPlaceXMarker and awvPlaceYMarker, as well as awvCrossHairDeleteList.

How do I add a crosshair marker that's identical to what I get when I press M in a plot? I could use this in conjuction with value() and cross() functions.

    Actually, support pointed me to the following function that seems to work ok.

    awvPlaceWaveformLabel( awvGetCurrentWindow() 1 list( 1.2u 200m ) "PointMarker %X %Y" nil)

    I wish there was a way you could specify the marker according to the Y value, an option available when editing a marker in the gui.  The function above will set the marker at x = 1.2u and Y = Trace1 Y Value  (not 200m)
