The "cat" command above translates (roughly) to 
Read everything below this point until you reach EOF, directing what has 
been read to a target file. So, 

cat<<EOF >> test.txt
This is a test
EOF

Will cause the file test.txt to be created (or appended to)
with the string "This is a test"

Does that help?
