Using commandToServer()

Sorry for the bunch of newbie questions, but I'm a-learnin'...the commandToServer function is kind of confusing to me...I mean, I understand it's telling the server to do something for that specific client, but where does it specify what to do for a certain command? I'm looking through the Tribes 2 scripts, and I'll use 2 examples of 2 different types of calls...
commandToServer('throwPack');
commandToServer( 'cycleWeapon', "next" );
Where is the behavior defined for throwPack and cycleWeapon? I'm sure that "next" is the argument which tells it how to cycleWeapon. How would I go about defining my own command, such as commandToServer('dropAmmo'); or something?

function serverCmdthrowPack(%client)
function serverCmdcycleWeapon(%client, %data)
The client param is important if you want to do something for the client.

Technically it would be like this:function serverCmdthrowPack(%client)
function serverCmdcycleWeapon(%client, %data)

would call
function serverCmdthrowpack()
commandToServer( 'cycleWeapon', "next" );
would call
function serverCmdcycleWeapon()
with the parameter next
These are usually found in Command.cs
hope that helps
