Hi,

What should be the correct output for this rc fragment?

{
cat <<EOF
hi there
EOF
}

I'm getting

hi: file does not exist
EOF: file does not exist

Is there a fix for this in the ftp site?

'here' documents in nested rc constructs have to
come after the nest.

i.e., change

> {
> cat <<EOF
> hi there
> EOF
> }

to

{
cat <<EOF
}
hi there
EOF

I have to enter a Ctrl-D after the closing brace before rc actually
registers.  Might be significant.

Byron's version prints the right thing.  We could port that to Plan 9. :-)
