The 'EOF' no longer closes correctly (sh doesn't like anything but a
newline character after the EOF). I tried this:

perl -pi -e 's/^\s*$//g' $TEMPDIR/pspp.list 
diff -b file.list - <<EOF 
        blah blah
EOF

which worked, after I removed the blank lines from the 
'blah blah' section.

Is the perl thingy acceptable?
