Well, that _ought_ to send

(a) 4 bytes == 1, which is the lower index of the string
(b) 4 bytes == 6, which is the upper index of the string
(c) the null-terminated string.

So it depends what your C-counterpart did with those strange
characers.

Why do you say Character'First & not ASCII.NUL?

If you don't want to include the bounds, use 'Write.

There's nothing wrong with streams, but you do have to know exactly
what the language requires the compiler to do!
