   * The top part of the file should end with a line that says "return". This tells CIGAL not to attempt to process subsequent lines as standard commands.

   * If the file contains the stimulus table, you **must** have one (or more) blank lines after the "return" line, to separate the parameter section from the stimulus table. **There must not be any other blank lines within the text sections of the file.** (See Note below for what constitutes a blank line).    * If the file contains the stimulus table, you **must** have one (or more) blank lines after the "return" line, to separate the parameter section from the stimulus table. **There must not be any other blank lines within the text sections of the file.** (See Note below for what constitutes a blank line).

 __Note:__ A line that starts with space characters is not considered a blank line even though it may look blank. Also, a semicolon (';') and all sebsequent characters on a line is ignored by CIGAL, so that a line that starts with a semicolon will be treated as a blank line even though it doesn't look it. (Put some blank space before the semicolon if you want to embed comments within your stimulus table.) __Note:__ A line that starts with space characters is not considered a blank line even though it may look blank.

 **Stimulus file names**\\ **Stimulus file names**\\
-File names for image, sound, and movie stimuli appear as the first argument in the [[jvs:cigal:showplay:manual:chapter1:stimulustable|stimulus table]]. By default, these file names are relative to the current working directory ([[jvs:cigal:manual:chapter4:curdir|Curdir]]). Alternatively, you can explicitly specify the folder containing your stimulus files by setting the [[jvs:cigal:showplay:manual:chapter3:showdir|Showdir]] string variable in the upper portion of the pardigm parameter file. The "showdir=getfile" line in the above example makes the starting directory for finding stimulus files the same directory containing the PPF ([[jvs:cigal:showplay:manual:chapter3:paramfile|Param_file]]) itself.+File names for image, sound, and movie stimuli appear as the first argument in the [[jvs:cigal:showplay:manual:chapter1:stimulustable|stimulus table]]. These file names are relative to the [[jvs:cigal:showplay:manual:chapter3:showdir|SHOWDIR]] directory. By default, SHOWDIR is the directory containing the PPF ([[jvs:cigal:showplay:manual:chapter3:paramfile|Param_file]]) itself. Alternatively, you can explicitly specify the folder containing your stimulus files by setting the SHOWDIR string variable in the upper portion of the pardigm parameter file. When set explicitly, the SHOWDIR path is relative to your current working directory ([[jvs:cigal:manual:chapter4:curdir|Curdir]]), not the directory containing the PPF.
