First: glm in R is not PROC GLM in SAS. In R the "G" is for
"generalized", cf. GLIM or GENMOD in SAS. The SAS GLM (General Linear
Model) functionality comes via lm() and friends in R.

I wouldn't say it "doesn't matter". Rather, it is "testing with
replacement" - see if you can drop a term, then put it back in the
model and see if you can drop another term.

Essentially, drop1() - barring details concerning main effects with 
interaction terms present.
