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.
