I did....
(echo hey;login);echo test
Saw "hey" displayed, and went through login. "ps ux" shows an extra csh.
I logged out, and then saw "test" displayed. So I guess I really got a
new login shell from the subshell.
Apparently doing....
(login)
all by itself doesn't really fork a new process for shell commands such
as login and cd, but rather does them and then restores everything, such
as connected directory. So...
(cd xyz)
has no net effect.
