That's simple. None of them worked but we didn't tell you. :)
Seriously, test.com does a SET MESSAGE/NOT_A_DAMN_THING_EVER_AGAIN and if
it exits incorrectly it leaves things such that you won't see any errors.
(What, me, bit by this one? Nah... :)
Anyway, you left out an argument to test.com. It should be:
@[.vms]test.com .EXE "" "-v" op/read.t
Without the .exe bit there, Odd Things Happen. (Or fail to happen, rather)
