SUBROUTINE INEXTR(SKEY,I1,I2,N)
*-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*  compacts all occurrences of a given key in the range indicated,
*  removes the key-words
*
*   Input
*   SKEY         = key to look for
*   I1           = start of input command range in SIMA
*   I2           = end         -         -
*   Output
*   N            = no. of characters in compacted string
*                  or -1 if key not found.
*   SSTA, common /ALCAZA/  contains the string
