See section 12.5.6 of the AutoCAD Reference Manual, "Protecting Sketch Accuracy." "Please raise the pen!" is a message generated by AutoCAD when a disk access will be required within a hundred digitized points or so. This is to ensure that AutoCAD doesn't lose track of any points you might try to SKETCH while AutoCAD is writing to the disk drive.
