Stopping an Effect...

Hi All,
I have a question about stopping an effect in a cue that follows the cue that contains the effect.
Here is the scenario:
I take my mid-stage Mac 700's and place the Tilt into a sine wave with an offset and all that fun stuff for cue 2. In Cue 3 I want to stop the movement.... I grab the groups, assign them a static position and record cue 3 with the desired timing. Using either Record/Merge or Merge/Cue Number the first recording does not stop the movement. If I repeat the same syntax over again and record it (or merge/cue # twice in a row with the initial selection) it stops. Alternatively When I make the selection I open the effect engine and select "off" for that parameter and it seems to do it first.
I guess I am just looking for the 'proper' and 'efficient' method for this!
Thanks!

    These are all really good solutions, and of course each has its own scenerio where it fits best. For me I like to build alot of specific chases, mainly P/T and Intensity, and trigger those from the macros. I like my FX to be in the actual cue, as I find sometimes they don't always realease like they are supposed too. On this tour I have a zillion macros going because I have a 32 channel lighted sign and some other scenic stuff... It was much easier to build 20 or so effects for that thing and bring them in externally. I am finding that just selecting "off" for each parameter seems to work best in the following cue. I guess the merge cue # twice may be a bug, but seems to work and gives me the speed I desire! This is why forums are nice! To find out many ways of doing the same thing!
    Cheers!
