There are various issues here:

	- Handling the chart redisplaying itself
		[for later discussion]
	- Restarting an entire simulation
		[if you're running from the command line, the easiest way to do  
this to run N simulation runs via your outer simulation stepper --  
for example, you could just say   sim.app.blah.Blah -repeat R   ]
	- killing a repeat

Killing a repeat is easy.  When you call scheduleRepeating, you get  
back an object called a Stoppable.

         Stoppable stopThis = schedule.scheduleRepeating(agent1);

All you have to do is squirrel away this Stoppable until the time  
comes when you'd like the repeat to stop, at which time you call

	stopThis.stop()

You might schedule a "stopper" in the future which does this at a  
preordained time:

         final Stoppable stopThis = schedule.scheduleRepeating(agent1);
	schedule.scheduleOnce(theTimeInTheFuture, new Steppable()
		{
		public void step(SimState state)
			{
			stopThis.stop();
			}
		});

Mark is correct about killing a whole simulation, but you should only  
do that if you can't find all the repeated scheduled items you set up.
