  // Example 1. if "thisCmd" is a string that looks like:
          string $thisCmd = "reverseCommand -ch off -rpo on %s";
  // and curve1 and curve2 are in the given list, then the commands 
  // that will be executed for each object will look like:
          reverseCommand -ch off -rpo on curve1;
          reverseCommand -ch off -rpo on curve2;

  // Example 2.  if "thisCmd" is a string that looks like:
          string $thisCmd = "reverseProc( true, false, %s )";
  // and curve1 and curve2 are in the given list, then the commands 
  // that will be executed for each object will look like:
          reverseProc( true, false, "curve1" );
          reverseProc( true, false, "curve2" );

  // Example 3.
          cone; sphere; select -all;
          string $cmd = "duplicate %s";
          string $itemList[] = `ls -sl`;
