        Define variables associated to both the content and the  header  of  the
        GILDAS images located in the files, if specified. This command acts as a
        combination of DEFINE HEADER and DEFINE TABLE. It accepts the same  key-
        words  (KeyN)  as DEFINE TABLE. If the keyword is READ, the header vari-
        ables are mapped ReadOnly, otherwise they are mapped ReadWrite.

        See HELP DEFINE HEADER for a description of the individual header  vari-
        ables.

        FITS cubes can also be loaded as a Gildas image variable, using the FITS
        file name in place of the file  name.  There  will  be  no  disk-to-disk
        translation: at load time, the FITS header will be translated on-the-fly
        to the GDF header elements, and the data will also be converted  on-the-
        fly if needed.
        This  feature  is  only  available for cube-like data in Primary HDU. To
        load other HDUs, use disk-to-disk conversion  with  the  command  V\FITS
        /HDU.
