I would suggest this, as well, for two reasons: 1) I presume
you actually want to "stop" the model, not "terminate" it.
Terminate deletes things.  Stop just halts them.  2) We had
been trying to isolate "control" functions through the controlPanel
and any amount of use that can be extracted from that would be
preferable to using the low-level interface to the activity 
library.
