ADD/ICAT [cat_name] frame_list [lowstr,histr] 
	add entries to an image catalog
\us\pu
Purpose: 
          Add entries to an image catalog.
\up\su
Subject:  
          Images, catalogs
\us\sy
Syntax:   
          ADD/ICAT [cat_name] frame_list [lowstr,histr]              
\ys\pa
          cat_name = name of image catalog; defaulted to currently active
               image catalog
\ap\pa
          frame_list = list of frames to be added,
\\
               maybe file specifications, separated by a comma (no spaces!);
\\
               or a single catalog name;
\\
               or wildcard specifications (e.g. a3*,n*.bdf)
\ap\pa
          lowstr,histr = optional low and high strings;
\\
          if given, only frames with names >= `low' and <= `high' will be added
\ap\no
Note: 
          The different options for the frame_list may not be mixed!
\\
          Entries are added automatically to the currently "active" image
          catalog (SET/ICAT command makes a catalog active).
\\
          If the entry is an "invalid" file specification, e.g. non-existent
          image name, a warning is displayed but the entry added anyway.
