Unix version
If no argument is given, start a subshell by running the default user
shell (sh, csh or ksh). The subshell can be terminated by typing 'exit'
or 'bye' or 'logout', depending on Unix version, and controls return to
SIC in this case.
If an argument is given, execute the Unix command in a subshell.
Note that new Unix environment variables canot be defined in such a way,
since it is a subshell. In particular, use command SIC DIRECTORY to
change your working directory.

executed in a subshell.
