The following is a sample from a bash script I've been working on.

  grep "<<$SF>>" $HOME/.todo/$TODOLIST > $HOME/p                                
                                                        
  ade=$?                                                                        
                                                        
  rm $HOME/p                                                                    
                                                        

Now that I have color in my rxvt, I'm noticing something bad: everything
after the line containing the "<<" is in sh-heredoc-face until the code
comes to another line containing "<<" and ">>".  Note, however, that it is
not the _next_ line containing those strings that stops the yellow tide,
but one rather far along in the code. Then things are normal for a while,
then back to sh-heredoc-face.

This bad behaviour is not present in XEmacs, interestingly enough. 

I'll submit a bug report on this shortly, but in the mean time I'd like to
know how to get Emacs to ignore everything having to do with "here docs".

Thanks,

Joe
