Hi!

I just discovered that my attempt to write the IMSTAT value 'pixstd' into the SAD output does not work; I'd hoped to add a line like 
IMSTAT: pixstd=xxxxxxx
to the SAD output text file, but it gets written into a log file instead.  

1.  Is there a way to add such a POPS "print" message/value to the SAD output stream?   

2. Or, maybe better, a way to set ACTNOISE = pixstd to trick SAD into using 'pixstd' for each channel, instead of a global ACTNOISE from image header, and as a bonus, get it printed in the usual place like "Errors determined by theory from RMS  0.03426" ?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
