Here's a tested example: ================start of testscript================ #!/bin/bash echo "Starting cat read lines from a here document ended by EOF" cat <<EOF line 1 line 2 EOF echo "End of example here document" =================end of testscript================= Substitute gdb for cat and gdb commands for 'line 1' and 'line 2'. This should work a lot better than echo because you can put as many lines as you want in the here document. You can also use shell variables for text substitution in it - see the bash manpage f0or details. Martin
