   DELHD is a MIRIAD task to delete an item from a MIRIAD dataset.

   For image datasets items are not only header variables, such as
   ``crpix1'', ``datamin'' etc., but also the ``mask'' and ``image''
   items.
   For visibility datasets examples of items are ``wflags'', ``gains''
   and ``pdata'', but NOT the uv variables. They cannot be deleted.
