Hi Grant,
You can add a text file (delimited text layer) of points pretty easily (the 
comma icon or from the layer menu). 

Then just edit the text file with your favourite text editor. I suggest you 
create the file first, then open it in QGIS. Specify the field delimiter, if 
the first line has column names (usually a good idea), the CRS, which columns 
to use for X & Y coords and tick the "watch file" box to refresh when new lines 
are added.
No real need to build such a tool into QGIS when this works so well.

Cheers,

entering its co-ordinates.  For example I have a drill hole position in UTM 
coordinates and I want to create a new layer for this drill hole.  Thanks Grant
