preprocessor command not recognized...

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any light you can shed...

I'm using %default for the first time, as in:

%default RERUN_WINDOW '30';

But getting the standard "unrecognized statement error" shown below.  What am I missing?  Is there a setting I need to support this?  I'm using 0.11.1.

RE: preprocessor command not recognized...

More info:  I'm getting this at the grunt command line.  When I run at the shell as:

>pig -dryrun myscript.pig

I don't get the error, suggesting I can't author/debug in my usual piecemeal style at the Pig shell if I want to use preprocessor commands, and now as I write this I realize the preprocessor substitutes at preprocess time, so I can't use the '%' commands at the pig shell.

Do I have this correct?
