**ShowPlay Reference Manual, Chapter 3 (ControlVariables): preprocflg**
===== Preprocflg -- Flag controlling stimulus list preprecessing options =====
An integer indicating which preprocessing steps should be performed on the stimulus list table.

PREPROCFLG values (combine by addition):\\
  * 1 - Define: replace any word that has a [[jvs:cigal:manual:chapter2:define|DEFINE]] alias
  * 2 - Comment: on each text line, ignore everything after a ';' character
  * 4 - LCase: convert all text to lower case
  * 8 - Module: perform [[jvs:cigal:manual:chapter2:module|MODULE]] substitution on lines that start with "MODULE"

Preprocessing of a Showplay stimulus list creates a new stimulus list, and stores a copy in a temporary file called "ppflist.tmp". The new list is what will actually be run as the real-time paradigm. A copy of the new list will also be stored in the PDIGM output file as record 28.
