If I set $vim in bash before starting vim, say
$ export vim=~/test

Then
OutSay 7z a Vim.7z $vim
works for me, in that 7z runs and compresses ~/test into Vim.7z.

"$vim" looks unusual for an environment variable, don't you mean "$VIM"? Case is significant in environment variable names, on unix and Linux anyway, not sure about windows and Mac OS.

If I run

OutSay 7z a Vim.7z $VIM

I get 1613 more lines, and Vim.7z is created, about 5 MiB.
