Function to repeat a command in all subfolders of a parent folder

//===================================================================================================================
// Function DoAllFolders
// Version 1.0.3
// Created : 2014-07-24
// Last Modified : 2016-01-07
// Input    :   A command string typically copied from the history window
// Calls    :  
// Returns  :   -1 if procedure does not complete. Nothing if it finishes
// Output   :   Executes the command string on all subfolders in the current folder. 1 level deep (does not recurse)
// Requires :   Because of the use of the DFR type, Igor 6.1 or higher is required.
// The purpose of this function is to allow exploratory data analysis on repetitive data sets stored in separate data folders.
// Typically this gets invoked after performing an operation on one data set that should then be repeated on all others.
// The command may be copied from the history window or command line and pasted into the prompt displayed by the function
// The command needs to be called from the parent folder
// The operation is then invoked on all subfolders using the "Execute" command
// All subfolders should have identically structured data (or at least should have the data structures used by the command)
// Also, the command will be executed in all folders, including the one that had the original operation. For some functions it may be necessary to set
//      flags to allow overwriting of variables/string/waves created by the original operation.
// The command string must be entered in string syntax, i.e. quotes and backslashes must be escaped using \
// Revision history
//  1.0.1 : Turned on Preferences before executing the command, so things behave more as if executed from the Command Line (especially graphs)
//  1.0.2:  Added reference to parent folder into the reporting string at the end of the routine. That way the history shows where the command was executed.
//  1.0.3   2016-01-07  :   Made the Command String a parameter to the function, so it can be passed as a call. Which means that now you can make a menu entry
//                              that runs a canned command over a set of folders. Slick.
