Back on-topic: when you say you "have a bunch of files open", are they all in buffers that you are switching between in a single window? Or do you have them open in multiple windows? What happens when you run your command? What did you expect to happen instead?

I would expect your command to end with the last buffer loaded in your window, with the cursor at the end. If you have appropriate autocmds defined, switching back to another buffer in the same window would have the cursor on the last line, however without a "restore last position" autocmd it would probably just go back to the beginning of the file. The 'hidden' option may help there, I'm not 100% sure.
