Instead of typing a "space" in your <<here doc, you could try giving it the octal value for that keystroke. That may work.

addbib
addbib(1) General Commands Manual addbib(1)
Name
addbib - create or extend bibliographic database
Syntax
addbib [-p promptfile] [-a] database
Description
When this program starts up, answering ``y'' to the initial ``Instructions?'' prompt yields directions; typing ``n'' or RETURN skips them.
The command then prompts for various bibliographic fields, reads responses from the terminal, and sends output records to a database. A
null response (just RETURN) means to leave out that field. A minus sign (-) means to go back to the previous field. A trailing backslash
allows a field to be continued on the next line. The repeating ``Continue?'' prompt allows the user either to resume by typing ``y'' or
RETURN, to quit the current session by typing ``n'' or ``q'', or to edit the database with any system editor ( ).
Options
-a Suppresses prompting for an abstract. Asking for an abstract is the default. Abstracts are ended with a CTRL/D.
-p Causes use of a new prompting skeleton, defined in promptfile. This file should contain prompt strings, a tab, and the key-letters to
be written to the database.
The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below. The insulates you from these key-letters, since it gives you prompts in
English. However, if you edit the bibliography file later, you need this information.
%A Author's name
%B Book containing article referenced
%C City (place of publication)
%D Date of publication
%E Editor of book containing article referenced
%F Footnote number or label (supplied by refer)
%G Government order number
%H Header commentary, printed before reference
%I Issuer (publisher)
%J Journal containing article
%K Keywords to use in locating reference
%L Label field used by -k option of refer
%M Bell Labs Memorandum (undefined)
%N Number within volume
%O Other commentary, printed at end of reference
%P Page number(s)
%Q Corporate or Foreign Author (unreversed)
%R Report, paper, or thesis (unpublished)
%S Series title
%T Title of article or book
%V Volume number
%X Abstract - used by roffbib, not by refer
%Y,Z ignored by refer
Except for `A', each field should be given once. Only relevant fields should be supplied. An example is:
%A Bill Tuthill
%T Refer - A Bibliography System
%I Computing Services
%C Berkeley
%D 1982
%O UNX 4.3.5.
Files
promptfile Optional file to define prompting
