Dear MathGroup
     I have a problem in using AddArrow given in FieldLines.m
I have the task of plotting dipole magnetic field lines in 3D
spherical coordinate system.
     Before I actually start with my work, I was trying learn
with the following simple code:

ex=-y[t];
ey=x[t];
x0=1.0;
y0=1.0;
t1=6;
lines = FieldLine[ {x[t], ex, x0}, {y[t], ey, y0}, {t, t1}];
c=Show[Graphics[lines, AspectRatio -> Automatic, Frame -> True]];
a=Show[AddArrow[lines, 0.5]];

In these command lines, c plots contour plot. But a gives the
following message:

Show::gcomb: An error was encountered in combining the graphics objects in
    Show[{Arrow[{0.570594, 1.29399}, <<3>>, HeadLength -> 4], <<4>>}].

If any knows the solution to this problem please let me know. I use
Mathematica 4.0 for Linux. Thanking you.
                                 best regards
                                 Gangadhara
