Actually, you interpretation of the bash script is not exactly correct. The << operator says to treat the following lines "as if" they are coming from STDIN, not STDOUT. So sending something to STDOUT from ooRexx buys you nothing from a redirection standpoint.
And you have actually touched on a weak area of ooRexx. There really is not a clean way to create a STDIN stream which can be supplied to another process (program) from inside an ooRexx script. You really are pretty much stuck with writing your input stream to a file and then feeding that file as the STDIN stream to the external program. I hope all this is clear.
