Re: restarting schedules

[Chimera]

Let me see if I can translate.  You are suggesting that I schedule my
synchronous events in the asynchronous schedule at regular intervals.  So
I schedule a "save data" at time 1247 and when it executes it reschedules
itself for time 1248, thereby getting rid of the "interval" problem.  I
had originally seperated the simulation (agent actions) from data
collection just for cleanliness.  This is probably a good work around.
(Close enough is good enough.)

One question I still have is the docs say that I should be able to change
the frequency of a synchronous schedule dynamically.  I tried it but it
didn't work.  Now it is very likely that I screwed something up because
the whole bussiness I was trying was pretty complex.  For future
reference, can this be done?

Cheers,
