There was a bug in IMEAN that caused it not to print much of a histogram 
if DOHIST <= 0.  I fixed that which may be the change you are 
encountering.  I see no easy way to add an option to print only 
essential info to the output text file although such could be added 
(probably should be).

I have used PRTASK 'IMEAN'; PRTI=0; clrm followed by the loop over 
spectral channels followed by PRTMSG to a file followed by the task 
IMRMS.  I do not know if that task still works - it depends on reading 
the print file and the format of the message lines could have changed...
