(while _list
(alert "do my thing")
  (setq lista (cons list lista))
  (setq listb (cons list listb))
  (setq _list (remitem _list 0))  ; function to remove item from list
  (setq list (getstring))  ;wait for new input here

i guess its kinda stupid to pause a loop why loop if you need to pause right?

Sure its possible...

I'm not sure why our code does not pause...
did not tested it, because u should not assign a value to a variable named list, maybe one of the most important function in lisp...

try:

Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]

1. (while 'T (getstring "\na String: "))
2.
