Try this
<hansl>
open denmark.gdt -q
list keep = LRM IBO
list drop = dataset - keep
delete drop
</hansl>
Or, since you mentioned "save", maybe it's worth pointing out that the
'store' command also accepts a list of variables. So you could simply do:
store myfile.gdt LRM IBO
(or: store myfile.gdt keep, with the 'keep' list defined as above)
at the end of your work with the data.
