Object Delete Duplicates

This routine will scan the selection set of objects, find and remove geometrically duplicate objects. This term is used because even though the routine has a provision for objects on different layers, it does not distinguish such properties as color or linetype. In other words if two objects appear identical except for their color/linetype, they will be considered duplicates and one will be deleted.
