reverseDo: isn't defined for strings in the current release--it's only
defined for lists.  The error you are getting is "message not understood."

(In the upcoming release your example would work, because reverseDo: is
defined for more collections, including indexable objects [like strings].)

Feel free to send further questions directly to me, unless you think they
might be of interest to others on the self-interest list.
