Users are non technical, and on selection (i.e. not the usual hover) I wanted to pop up a brief tooltip describing the selected item in ordinary language (irrespective of whether tooltips are globally on or off):
>>

>> break

>> set the tooltip of me to “Is approximately"
>> break
>> end switch
>> set the tooltipdelay to 500
>> show the tooltip of me
>> set the tooltipdelay to 0
>> end menuPick
maybe something like this will work for you:
..
set the tooltipdelay to 1
## to show the tooltip almost immediately
## give th user time to read the tooltip
send "set the tooltipdelay to 0" to me in 2 secs
...
Best
