GNU bash, version 3.2.51(24)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

The following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
data=`cat <<'BABEL_STRING'

BABEL_STRING
`
echo "$data" | grep PAYEE
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

does indeed work exactly as I need it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thank you VERY MUCH!

BTW, is it a bug, then, that the new syntax *does not* work?  I can't believe
I'm the first one facing this.

> Or do you need backtics as well?

Nope. Don't need backtics. You're my savvier...

Though, please note that I well need the double quotes around "$data".
Otherwise, the above code (with echo $data | grep PAYEE) returns:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
