Actaully George is correct - aips task ACCOR does what Michael is 
asking.  It averages the channels of an AC record per IF and per 
polarization and writes the result suitably to an SN table.  That can 
then be applied with CLCAL and following DOCAL TRUE.  It can be plotted 
with SNPLT and edited with SNEDT.  The help file for ACCOR is misleading 
but the code is just what one wants.
