Use a frontScript.  devolution's main window does that, and it's a 
better move all around since the newTool message is sent to the 
topstack, and usually it's needed in a palette.

And of course, pass the message when you're done. :)

   on newTool
     UpdateMyPalettes
     pass newTool
   end newTool
