Dropping or cleaning a schedule

[Rob Kewley]

This note is reference my help request of 23 June in which I had trouble
dropping or cleaning a schedule to start a new iteration of a
simulations.  I think I found a 90% solution on my own, but I do one
outstanding question.  While the schedule is active, I can send the
message:
  [getCurrentScheduleActivity () terminate];

This stops the  activity controlling the schedule.  I can then drop all
activities on the schedule  with the message:
  [dynSchedule removeAll];

I then add the initial activities to the schedule and activate it again
in the model swarm.

This solves my problem.  However, I would ideally like  to control the
termination of the schedule activity from a message invoked in the
observer swarm.  However, the message:
  [getCurrentScheduleActivity() terminate];
will not work because the observer swarm messages are activated by an
activity executing a display schedule in the observer swarm.  Is there a
way for a schedule object to reveal the activities controlling it.  I
could then send a terminate to those activities from the observer
swarm.  Also, I seem to have trouble reactivating a schedule in the
modelswarm from the observer swarm.  Is there a way to do this?  Or do I
have to always do it from the model swarm.

Thanks
