      EDITR knows if an antenna is present but not on a baseline
basis.  IBLED shows only 1 baseline at a time and can loop on if no
points are found while EDITR is doing things on specified antennas
and so is a bit more stuck with doing what you ask.

Again I am not sure what you did.  I tried entering invalid antennas
and it simply ignored me in both ENTER ANTENNA and ENTER OTHER ANT.  I
did overhaul that could some to improve NEXT ANTENNA and NEXT BASELINE
so perhaps I plugged a hole since your earlier attempt.  I suppose a
really really bad antenna number, e.g. 999 might provoke something by
looking way away from where it should in memory - I tested only
numbers like 33 which are valid antenna numbers (but nopt present in
my data).
