Abstract: The non-perturbative behaviour of macroscopic loop amplitudes in the exactly solvable string theories based on the KdV hierarchies is considered. Loop equations are presented for the real non-perturbative solutions living on the spectral half-line, allowed by the most general string equation $[ildeP,Q]=Q$, where $ildeP$ generates scale transformations. In general the end of the half-line (the `wall') is a non-perturbative parameter whose r^ole is that of boundary cosmological constant. The properties are compared with the perturbative behaviour and solutions of $[P,Q]=1$. Detailed arguments are given for the $(2,2m-1)$ models while generalisation to the other $(p,q)$ minimal models and $c=1$ is briefly addressed.
