How do I use heredocs

Hi,

I have a simple test program.

====================
class QuickTest
def testMe
str = <<EOS
Some Application data
EOS puts str
end end

if $0 == __FILE__ then

$test = QuickTest.new
$test.testMe
end ===========================

I got this error and could not figure out what's wrong?

==============================================
QuickTest.rb:21: can't find string "EOS" anywhere before EOF
QuickTest.rb:6: syntax error
===============================================

Can someone help?

I am running Ruby 1.8 on Windows XP


Thanks
