Hmmm...  How would I use script within a... script?

For example, the following doesn't work:

#!/bin/bash

script test.out

/usr/kerberos/bin/ftp -i -n -u <<EOF
open ftp.somesite.com
user someuser somepass
pass
mput somefiles*
bye
EOF

exit


It just keeps logging everything and never ends the script.
Thanks,
