Ah, a very nice idea, especially since it requires no work on my part!

I changed it to using cat with a heredoc, that should solve the 
problem. In case you do not know these, you basically do:

command <<[-]delimiter
...
delimiter

And command will be executed with “...” as stdin.

If you add - it'll remove indent from the lines, and if you quote 
delimiter, it won't do normal expansion on the lines, like $VARIABLES 
(so sort of I should have done that in the Help command :) ).
