Re: Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal

I read :help 26.4 and I'm still a bit stuck.

I was previously using Vim 7.2 with the following:

file fixnbsp.vim contained:
:%s/> />\ /g
:%s/ </\&nbsp;</g
:wq

and a shell script under Cygwin with the following snippet:

# Build new compares.
for f in $(cat $ALLFILES); do
 if [ -e new/$f ]; then
   c:/Program\ Files/Beyond\ Compare\ 2/BC2.exe @shortcompare.txt $f
   c:/Program\ Files/Vim/vim72/vim.exe -S fixnbsp.vim compares/$f.html
 fi
done

A nearly identical setup (substitute vim73 for vim72) outputs:
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal
Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal

Reading :help 26.4 and the examples, I changed fixnbsp.vim to:
%s/> />\&nbsp;/g
%s/ </\&nbsp;</g
write
quit

and the vim step in the loop to:
   c:/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Vim/vim73/vim.exe -e -s
compares/$f.html < fixnbsp.vim
which is the same as the example:
         vim -e -s $file < change.vim
(obviously, I changed the "write tempfile" to just "write" since I
want to change in place)

This just seems to hang. (possibly on the write?)

I know I could use sed, but I would just like to know whether
something changed in Vim 7.3 that changed this behavior, and what I
could do to make this work.

BTW, from http://www.vim.org/maillist.php#vim clicking the "tips
archive" from the "Comments" section gives a 404.
