How come writing to SYS$NET doesn't send any output?

FOOBAR.COM is now:

$WRITE SYS$NET "Foobar"
$DIRECTORY/OUTPUT=SYS$NET

Oh cool, that worked. 

Thanks. 

The "TASK=..." will open a channel to and execute the procedure.   Logical
SYS$NET is defined as the "back-channel" for communications.   So, you can
sent data back in any method you chose as long as it's channels through
SYS$NET.
