What do you mean it does not work.

It seems to work fine on my system.
I looked at "x" while single stepping through in debug mode.

Insert some message lines to show the value of "x".

Let>x=0
Repeat>x
Let>x=x+1
Message>The value of "x" is %x%
Wait>.1
Until>x=500
MessageModal>Process is done!

Many macros can work in the background. It depends on what they are doing. If copying/renaming/moving files, doing parsing of text, moving data between applications with DDE, etc can usually run in the background.

But any macro that requires Mouse Clicks, Keyboard entries, resizing of windows, etc. usually need focus on the window they are processing, so they will require a hands off approach.

Your macros can be started from the Main Macro Scheduler Control Panel, they can be scheduled using Macro Scheduler or other scheduling programs, they can be called from other programs, they can be started with user defined Hot Keys.

These are just a few ideas and guidelines to give you some ideas.
