I don't know the details of the experiment, but why do you need to "stop"
the model?  If you're using PM, then I assume that there's probably a
response that the model makes which signals the end of the trial and you
could just put the code that executes into the "handler" of that response.
If you put the code into the device-handle-click, device-handle-keypress,
or device-speak-string method it would just happen when it needed to
and the model could be allowed to run the whole task continuously.  If
that isn't the case, please let me know more details and I'll offer some
other suggestions.
