Hi Douglas,

the doCommand("Command") macro call works only with ImageJ menu commands that can be also used with run("Command"). It is not meant for macro functions.

Anyhow, I see no reason for running the macro function

  doWand(x,y,150.0,"8-connected");

asynchronously. The following commands in your macro would then have an undefined state of the selection, the wand may have finished creating the selection or not.

Do you want the user to click with the wand on a point, to select something? Then use setTool("wand") and WaitForUser("select the particle now")

<by the way, if you want embedded quotes in a String, use either single quotes or backslash-quotes>

Michael
