The pipe symbol (not necessarily the command, but the symbol)
must be on the current command line.  The current command line
is "cat ...".

Either of the following will work:

	cat <<END | grep coconuts
	...
	END

or

	cat <<-END |
		...
		END
	grep coconuts

Note, in the second example, I also used the "-" notation of the
here document to allow the document to be indented by tabs.
This has no effect on the pipeline and could be omitted.  It is
a readability issue.
