As I said, instead of passing the whole awfully long command on the
command-line, I would write the necessary ex-commands to a file, then
pass the name of that file as the argument of a -S switch on the Vim
command-line; or, if there isn't yet a Session.vim file (or only one
that I can afford to overwrite) in the current directory, I would just
call "vim -S". If that script ends in a :q (or maybe :x or :xa, etc.)
ex-command, the called Vim will exit after processing the script. If
there isn't, it will get into interactive mode instead.

Best regards,
Tony.
