No question I was in a bad mood after wasting most of the
afternoon looking for vestiges of earlier IDL installations
on my computer, but it seems to me that how you go about
adding magnetic vectors depends *entirely* on how you go
about plotting the trajectory.

In the proposed solution, I see we are just throwing
out the Z component of both the trajectory and the vector
field. Certainly this is the easiest way to proceed.
I just wonder if it is accurate though. :-)

Cheers,

David
