Load All TIFF Files


//	LoadAllTIFFFilesFromFolder(pathName, nameWaveAfterFileName, displayImages)
//	This function loads each TIFF file in a given file folder into Igor.
//	The name of the TIFF file is assumed to end with ".tif".
//	pathName is the name of an Igor symbolic path or "" to get a dialog.
//	If nameWaveAfterFileName is true, the output wave name is the file name less the extension.
//	Otherwise it is something like image0, image1 . . .
//	If displayImages is true, a new image plot is created for each image.
