I tried the following code....

int main (int argc,const char **argv)
{
   int idx;
      
   Coalition *coal;
   id <List> aList;
   id <Index> listIndex;
   
   initSwarm (argc,argv);
   
   aList=[List create: globalZone];
   
   for (idx=0;idx<30;idx++)
      {
         coal=[Coalition createBegin: globalZone];
         [coal setLength: 8];
         coal=[coal createEnd];
         [coal randomInit];
         
         [aList addLast: coal];
      }
    printf("The list contains %d members\n",[aList getCount]);  
    
    listIndex=[aList begin: globalZone];   
    
    //remove members     
    while ([listIndex next]!=NULL)
             [listIndex remove];
       
    if ([aList getCount]!=0) 
       printf ("aList unclean! It still contains %d members!\n");   
    else
       printf ("aList perfectly cleaned! Now it contains %d members.\n");
   
    return 0;
 }
... and this is the output

aList contains 30 members
aList perfectly cleaned! Now it contains 0 members

Do I have the magic touch or what's behind?
