It works for me too (with your command, not Calixte's one)!

Stupid question: does the command
wget -O findme.txt http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NM_000419
works in a shell?

Second stupid question: did you tried with host instead of unix?

If you start scilab from a shell, you will see the output of the command 
in the shell when using unix. Maybe that will help....
