macro to grade and digitize xrays

[J.J. Trey Crisco]

I have gone through all the help I can find, but still stuck!  I have x-rays images from over 100 subjects.  I am trying to create a macro that I can send to various scorers.  I have successfully created code that will sort and identify images and presents dialog boxes for  scores.  Now, I want them to simply digitize 5 points on one of the uploaded images.  I want this to occur in the macro so I can save scores and xy coordinates.  

How do you  have the user digitize 5 points in the macro when prompted then collect the xy data?  

I try getCursorLoc, but its a continuous stream before the user clicks the points. I tried setting point and multipoint, create a dialog, but it doesn't allow the dialog to remain open while digitizing?  This must be so simple  but I am missing something

Does this help?

  for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
    do {
       getCursorLoc(x, y, z, flag);
     }  while (flag&16==0);
     print ("Point # "+(i+1)+" clicked at "+x+", "+y);
     wait(250);
  } //i

Yes, That does it! I was missing the wait (250), which I could not find any
documentation on why that works!  Thanks, Trey
