DON'T be offended, take a little more time typing so its easier to understand. From what i could follow in your post, no that doesn't sound right, the compression tester should've been pushed to a certian psi and held there on its own (unless you're pressing the release button).
Prop open the throttle plate
screw in compression tester
turn the motor over (you unhooked the coil wire, right?) around four times
If your guage isn't like the one I have that holds its place you may need a friend

to have good readings you want to make sure your engine is warm. Remove all spark plugs and every cylinder. disable the fuel system and you can either have the throttle stuck open or manually by foot with the pedal. make sure you crank the engine three times. you should get a good reading that way.
