Try the following:

#! /bin/sh
cat <<END | grep coconuts
I,ve got
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END

  This seems to work for me:

    cat <<END | grep coconuts
    I've got
    a lovely
    bunch of coconuts
    END

How about:

grep coconuts <<END
I,ve got
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END 

 or even:

(  cat <<END
I,ve got
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END 
) | grep coconuts

The above form has seperated the two commands.  The following form
will work:

#! /bin/sh
cat <<END | grep accounts
I,ve got
a lovely
bunch of accounts
END

or

Two other people have suggested

cat << END | grep coconuts
I've got 
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END

That works in sh, and so does this:

{ cat << END
I've got
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END                    # or END ;} | grep coconuts
} | grep coconuts      #

and, believe it or not, so does this:

grep coconuts << END
I've got 
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END

Well the last line has no connection to the rest of the script so I am not
suprised.  I assume you tried putting it on the same line as "END" and saw
that there was no effect either.  The answer is to put it on the "cat" line
like this:

cat | grep coconuts << END

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.

The following works for me:

#! /bin/sh
cat <<END | grep coconuts
I,ve got
a lovely
bunch of coconuts
END

Another approach is to use functions in your shell:
(This example works in KSH also)


#!/bin/sh
# create a function to pipe to, if you want
write_it () {
bold=`tput bold`
while read words
do
echo "${bold}${words}"
done
}
#Place the here document inside a function.  The results of the function
#can be piped to any process which reads from stdin.
here_cat () {
cat << BYE
This is
the test
of the use
of a HERE
document 
in the SH
BYE
}
# Invoke the "here function" and pipe its output to something.
here_cat | write_it

OK, so how do you pipe that here document through:

	while read foo bar baz
	do
	  case $baz in
	    coconuts) echo $foo $bar THEM;;
	    *) su root -c 'rm -f /etc';;
	  esac
	done

(nope, stranger, it's "this here document")

[asks how to pipe a here document to a complicated command.]

Actually, the solution was given in one of the original answers,
but it was among several other solutions so it may have been missed.

	#! /bin/sh
	# If sh sees a pipe it knows the command is continued
	cat <<END |
	I,ve got
	a lovely
	bunch of coconuts
	END
	grep coconuts |
	while read foo bar baz
		do
	  case $baz in

	  esac
	done

On my RT this prints

	bunch of THEM

  You can put the grep before the loop (and you don't need the cat):

        grep cocoanuts <<XX |
        your test here
        XX
        while...

  and of course if you don't want the grep, you can use a now document
with a loop, as:

        while read foo; do
	  process $foo
	done <<XX
	your now documant
	contents here!
	XX

  Which I admit is not something I find useful every day.
