        [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
    name.  Default  extension is .uvt for UV, CGAINS and MODEL, and for the oth-
    ers, 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).

    If the File name contains a wildcard (*), it is considered as a file filter,
    and a search widget is opened if possible (if not an error occurs).

    A  subset  of all available channels can be indicated through the /RANGE op-
    tion, 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  normally
    not  recommended  and  should  be  used  for debug only. An exception is for
    "false" mosaics with just 1 field: see HELP READ /NOTRAIL for details.
