Bill,

did you consider the macro routine:

waitForUser(string)
Halts the macro and displays string in a dialog box. The macro
proceeds when the user clicks "OK". Unlike showMessage, the dialog
box is not modal, so the user can, for example, create a selection or
adjust the threshold while the dialog is open. To display a
multi-line message, add newline characters ("\n") to string. This
function is based on Michael Schmid's Wait_For_User plugin. Example:
WaitForUserDemo.

Concerning questions related to macro coding, a look at the manual
"Built-in Macro Functions" at

<http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html>

is generally helpful.
