One way is to create a file that is both a valid shell script and a valid Vim script by starting the file with the following line: "exec" vim -S $0 "$@" [vim commands go here] (That's a dollar-zero after the -S, not dollar-capital-O.) When the shell runs this file it sees the exec command and runs Vim. Because $0 is the name of the script Vim opens the script and executes it, but it ignores the first line because it sees it as a comment. -- Matthew Winn
