You can use the macro debugger, available in ImageJ 1.42e and later.
Press ctrl-d *Debug>Debug Macro) to start executing the macro and
ctrl-e (Debug>Step) to execute the next statement.
    http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/macros.html#debugger

You can also use the waitForUser() macro function to pause a macro.

hey wayne

thankyou very much, it was the waitForUser which i needed.

but could you tell me how do i declare the strings. i used it this way

string Proceed;
    string Press OK;

       waitForUser(Proceed, Press (OK));

this is wrong as it returns error undefined variable string

???

Hi Donny,
I suggest you study the documentation on the macro language at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/macros.html

The 1st "Hello World" example demonstrates that strings do not need to be declared, but must be in quotes.
