Which document(s) imply this?  It is *not* possible to add or delete 
records to an after the call to iocInit() from the startup script.  In 
the future it might become possible to add new record instances, but I 
don't think the current code-base will ever permit deleting records 
(that would need a complete rewrite of IOC Core which could not be made 
compatible with existing record types and device support).
