Hi!  

I'm making some big image cubes, 2041x2041x8192 or 130GB, and becasue disk spaceis scarce, I would like to either 
1.  ideally not create an IBMxxx cube at all, if IMAGR can just use a single plane, or
2. automatically delete the IBMxxx file so i don't have to do it manually.

Can't find anything in the Cookbook, Help, or on-line; any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (as always).

Bob Gray
