I'm not sure why you need a shell script to launch Vim, but ignoring
that...

basename is just a simple tool that strips off the "path prefix" of a
pathname. So if you type `basename /foo/bar/baz` at a shell prompt, it
will print "baz".

The `$0` is shell syntax which is expanded to the name used to invoke
the script on the command line. So if you run the script as
`./myscript`, then `$0` would be replaced with "./myscript" and
`basename $0` would be "myscript".

So if your AppleTV doesn't have basename available, you can replace that
line with something like this, and it should do the same thing:

name="myscript"

where "myscript", of course, is the command you're using to invoke the
script, minus the /path/to/script/ prefix, if any exists.

Hope that helps.
