 USAGE:  [lon, lat, var, jd, pn, status] = prof_xsect ( pointer_file, varname, depth_i )

 PARAMETERS:
 INPUT:
   pointer_file:  
      list of profile netcdf files
   varname:  
      name of epic variable to use.  Should be something like 'T_20',

      depth at which to take cross section
   opt_plot:
      Optional, if present and equal to 1, put up a gridded plot of
      the data.

 OUTPUT:
   lon, lat:  
      coordinates of profiles
   var:       
      data interpolated at 'depth_i'
   jd:     
      julian day
