You should be able to do it by editing the attached script and adding a few other commands.
The original script reads a csv file with the node coordinates and create it, using a particular coordinate system (0 is the global system).
You can append these commands to it:
*createnode 111 222 333 0 0 0 ; #create a node with coordinates 111 222 and 333 (x, y, z)
*createmark nodes 1 "displayed" ; #select the node displayed and add it to mark #1>> you can change to its number or -1 to get the latest created
*masselement 1 4444 "" 0 ; # add a mass element with mass '4444' to the node selected in mark #1
*tagtextdisplaymode 2
*tagcreate nodes 1 "taglabel_editthis" "tagbody_editthis" 4 ; #create a tag to node ID 1 with a label and body.1
