I think that is the problem that he is having. He already has multiple
words per line, and needs to read them from the file as _lines_ and not
_words_. Try this....
<a file called 'list' has the lines of text that you want to read>
#!/bin/sh
cat list | while read line
do
echo $line
done
That should take care of it.
