Thanks for your explanation. I had taken Tony's suggestion and started looking 
at the man bash pages. So, if I'm getting it right, the above sequence says 
take what I'm about to type and redirect the text into the file 'desktop' in 
the designated location, and keep doing that until I type "EOF" - the first 
'>' is the redirect, and the '<<' is the entry that tells the process to 
continue until it sees the sequence that immediately follows '<<', at which 
point the redirect process terminates. Do I have that right?
