What was wrong with the data file you first had me look at?  I changed 
AIPS so that it could read in the images and they looked good and were 
properly labeled.  This header has no coordinate information whatsoever.

keyword 'ctype1'; keystr='glon-mol'; puth

will work.  But aips does not know about MOL geometry and you would also 
need increments etc.
