;QUESTION: How do I make an IDL variable have a type "undefined"?
;ANSWER: At the main IDL level you can use the IDL procedure <proidl>DELVAR</proidl> to
;delete an IDL variable and make it undefined. Inside of procedures
;and functions, I use this little program named <pro>UNDEFINE</pro> that I got
;from Andrew Cool at the DSTO High Frequency Radar Division in
;Adelaide, Australia.
