I'm writing a Plugin to read my Multiple Extension Data Cube.  I'm using
the approach of Stack slices.  However, when I put the header as a
string in the slice label, I see the lines of the header in the text
area above the image.  And, when I Show Info, I see the info that a
non-FITS file usually has.  I'm adding the header in:

                    stack.addSlice(headerString.toString(), imp);

I don't see how it is done in FITS_Reader.  I see in Info.getImageInfo
how the infoProperty is obtained from the slice label for a Stack.  I
must be putting the header into the wrong place.

Thanks for any help!
