This way, the tabs remained. So the 'problem' is when I am pasting
the same lines (with tabs) into the terminal window. There bash is
interpreting the tabs and not feeding them into the here doc
processing.
yes, bash interprets stdin differently than not stdin.
ARGH!!!
So can I control this? I want the howto to be a cut-n-paste operation.
And I want to support real tabs not a bunch of spaces as I had
previously...
Try cat <<- EOF
Note the dash. And yes, you must use tabs. Spaces are suppressed
whereas tabs are not.
