(Moving this to the devel list, I think it's more appropriate)

Try this

open denmark.gdt -q

In fact we could enhance the above in 2 ways:
1) we could provide the "!" operator for lists, so that
list drop = !keep
would achieve the same as the command Artur used, and
2) we could enable on-the-fly computed lists in commands such as "delete",
so one could conceivably use something like
delete !(LRM IBO)
of course step 2 would not be very easy to implement, so the question is:
would it be worthwhile?
