sed changes go to standard out....?

Hi gang: Need some help with "sed". The script below is working except for the sed command. It does replace the words I'm searching for but the change goes to standard out (screen) so the file is not updated. How do I get sed to modify the file?? I'm sure it something simple...
Thanks All !!! This is running Solaris 8

#! /bin/sh

# Begin shell script to modify the netmap

echo "Welcome to the netmap edit tool"
echo "What would you like to do?"

echo 1. Add a node to the netmap
echo 2. Modify a node in the netmap
echo 3. Delete a node in the netmap.

read choice
# Begin choice determination logic

if [ $choice = 1 ]
then
# logic to add a new node to current netmap

cat newnode >> netmap.cfg

# New Node info collection
echo " Enter the new node name"
read newnodename

sed "s/bogus/$newnodename/" netmap.cfg

echo "Enter IP address of new node"
read IP

sed "s/ipaddress/$IP/" netmap.cfg

else
echo "Still under construction"
fi

NWBPSET(1)							      nwbpset								NWBPSET(1)

NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ] DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with As another example, look at the following command line: nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c | sed '2s/.*/ME/'| sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'| nwbpset With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object 'me'. nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c | sed '9s/.*/ff/'| nwbpset This command disables the user object me. Feel free to contribute other examples! nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information. Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons. OPTIONS
-h -h is used to print out a short help text. -S server server is the name of the server you want to use. -U user user is the user name to use for login. -P password password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset prompts for a password. -n -n should be given if no password is required for the login. -C By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off this conversion by -C. AUTHORS
