The function TVMOVIE (or TVCUBE) is used in aips to load the aips TV
with frames of a movie and then show them.  I do not know how one
constructs a movie for e.g. PowerPoint.  You could make a plot file of
each channel of your cube (GREYS, KNTR, PCNTR) and then make a
sequence of PostScript files (LWPLA) each with the same labeling and
grey-scale or contour settings. Perhaps the gimp would then be able to
make a movie from them.

This is probably better than TVLOAD; TVLAB, GO TVCPS which would make
the screen shots.
