EXECUTE

        [SIC\]EXECUTE CommandString

    Execute the command line given as argument. It can be an explicit  char-
    acter  string, a string variable contents, or a mixture of both. For ex-
    ample:

    ! Simple command
    SIC> SIC\EXECUTE EXAMINE

    ! Command with several words
    SIC> SIC\EXECUTE "EXAMINE /GLOBAL"

    ! Command stored in variable
    SIC> DEFINE CHARACTER*32 COMMAND
    SIC> LET COMMAND "EXAMINE /GLOBAL"
    SIC> SIC\EXECUTE 'COMMAND'

    ! Command stored in several variables
    SIC> DEFINE CHARACTER*32 COMMAND OPTION
    SIC> LET COMMAND "EXAMINE"
    SIC> LET OPTION "/GLOBAL"
    SIC> SIC\EXECUTE 'COMMAND'" "'OPTION'

    The error status of the executed command is propagated  to  the  EXECUTE
    command, except for @ (errors raised by @ are lost).
