Unable to do a for loop in "here document"

[Mr Aras]

Hi,

I've been trying to do a "for loop" in a "here document" but the variable is
never assigned to the items in the list.

e.g.

#!/bin/sh
sh <<-EOF
for word in hello world
do
        echo word = $word
done
EOF

output is:
word =
word =


Can someone tell me why this doesn't work? I've been going nuts trying to
figure this one out.
