Is there a way to keep all my here file info on the same line?  Such as:

:if [ utility <<- + list show q + | grep specialchar ]
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm trying to figure out the correct syntax for something similar to the
above.

FWIW, there's an alternate syntax that DOES allow for
leading spaces/tabs if desired, e.g.:

   if [ -n "nonempty string" ]
   then
      utility <<- MyEODStringForThisCommand > outfile
         ...
      MyEODStringForThisCommand
   fi

Note the extra "-" after "<<".
