            [CLEAN\]READ Buffer File [/COMPACT] [/FREQUENCY RestFreq]
          [/RANGE Min Max Type] [/NOTRAIL]

        Read  the  specified  internal  buffer (BEAM, CCT, CGAINS, CLEAN, DIRTY,
        MASK, MODEL, PRIMARY, RESIDUAL, SKY, SUPPORT, SINGLEDISH, UV) from input
        File.   Default  extension is .uvt for UV, CGAINS and MODEL, and for the
        others, in order, .beam, .cct, .lmv-clean, .lmv, .msk, .lobe,  .lmv-res,
        for  Data Cubes when the extension is given as .fits (see HELP READ FITS
        for more details).

        A subset of all available channels can be indicated through  the  /RANGE
        option, even for UV tables.

        The  corresponding  buffer  is available as a SIC image-like variable of
        the same name, so that one can use e.g. HEADER DIRTY command.

        READ * Name   will attempt to read all existing files of same Name  with
        the standard file types corresponding to the respective buffers.

        The  /COMPACT  option  is  used to load the ACA-specific internal buffer
        used in the ALMA joint deconvolution method.

        The /NOTRAIL allows to ignore trailing columns in UV data. This is  nor-
        mally not recommended and should be used for debug only. An exception is
        for "false" mosaics with just 1 field: see HELP READ  /NOTRAIL  for  de-
        tails.
