[ILUG] developerWorks article...

[Noel Carroll]

Talking about bash scripting.  I was reading an article in LJ at the weekend
that detailed using EX and 'here' files for scripting.  Is this a common
approach or are there better ways of doing it - like most things on Linux
there alwasy seems to be about 5 ways of doing something!   What the hell is
a 'here' file and is there more to it than just an _EOF_ flag as was
detailed in the article.
