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