In which editor did you originally write the code?

The script runs fine for me but when I write it in a text editor like OpenOffice and then paste it into vi then I get a problem similar to the one you describe.

And indeed, the command cat -A hello then shows all kind of characters that don't belong there.

passepartout

PASSEPARTOUT(1x)														  PASSEPARTOUT(1x)

NAME

       Passepartout - an XML-based desktop publishing application

SYNOPSIS

       passepartout [options] files...

DESCRIPTION

       Passepartout  is  an  open source desktop publishing application.  The goal is to provide a simple and user-friendly, yet powerful tool for
       creating printed material. Passepartout combines a WYSIWYG layout editor with a high-quality typesetting engine.

       You do not use Passepartout for writing text, because it is only a layout editor. Basically speaking, Passepartout is in  the  business	of
       taking  the  different  parts  that  make  up a page, such as text, photos, graphics, and "gluing" them on piece of paper. Passepartout can
       import from several different bitmapped image formats as well as EPS files.  you write the text in your favorite text editor (e.g. Emacs or
       VI) in an XML-based format.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	      Show version number.

       -V     Be verbose.

       -d     Show debugging messages.
