  id  startSchedule, repeatSchedule;

  startSchedule = [Schedule create: aZone];

  repeatSchedule = [Schedule createBegin: aZone];
  [repeatSchedule setRepeatInterval: 3];
  repeatSchedule = [repeatSchedule createEnd];
  [repeatSchedule at: 0 createActionTo: someObject message: M(doSomething)];

  [startSchedule at: 20 createActionTo: repeatSchedule
     message: M(activateIn:) : aSwarm];
  [startSchedule activateIn: aSwarm];

The doSomething message to someObject should execute at the frequency you
asked for.  The base time of a repeating schedule is always the time of its
initial activation, so we just schedule the activation at time 20.
