Yes, this should loop in the background, until you issue midistop.

;
; This routine will allow you to play a MIDI (.MID) file
; The :arg is the midi file you wish to play.
; It plays it asynchronously and you can stop it any time
; by issuing the command midistop.
;
; To run:
;
; load "midi.lgo
; Call midi file
;
; Example:
;
midi "c:/windows/media/canyon.mid
;
; System requirements:
;
; You must have Windows 3.1 (or 3.0 with Multi-Media Extentions)
; You must have the correct driver loaded in Windows for video
;    (MCI avivideo).
;
end

to midi :a
print sentence [opened sequencer on channel] mci (sentence [open] (word
"sequencer! :a) [alias music])
print sentence [playing the music] :a
make "midi.stopped "false
midiplay
end

to midiplay
if not :midi.stopped ~
  [
  (mci [seek music to start])
  (mci [play music notify] [midiplay])
  ]
end

to midistop
make "midi.stopped "true
mci [stop music wait]
mci [close music wait]
print [Midi stopped]
end

I'm learning them as I go here from the MCI help file.

Sorry, no can do.

However if your going to release a "game" for Windows
you will probably want to write and installation package.
That installation package could install MSWLogo, along with your
game and setup an Icon that loaded the program and set the program
to start on load. The program can hide the commander etc.
