We have been talking for a while on fixing that subroutine, it is quite
garbled at the moment. If you cannot understand what some specific
instruction is doing, and you think your question would be too technical
for this mailing list, feel free to ask me personally.

To answer your question, I don't think any update in ions is necessary.
Forces contribution from ext efield are written to the global variable
forcefield (from module extfield); this variable is than used in
forces.f90 to add the efield contribution.

cheers
