What I meant was: why use finish()?  Why not just re-create all the data structures in start() and let the previous ones, if they exist, naturally gc?

I tried to do it in the GUIState class but without success. There doesn't seem to exist any way in the Scheduler class to set something to run at simulation end either. How else can I do it?
