Ben,
Thank you for responding.
I'm not sure how to read your example. Can you tell me what each part does
please?
What I have been doing is 1) make a list of filenames and then 2) insert a vim
command invoking a macro in front of each filename and then running the
resulting file as a script. This single threads vi. Attempting to add an
ampersand at the end of each line merely produces an error message and a
stopped vi process.
I have made a script to gather filenames and run this command "vim -n $file -c
" " -s /splitons.vim &" with a pause every 7 commands (lucky 7) to let the
system catch up. It's working great now.
Can I ask for your comments on my solution please?
Regards,
George...

How are you running the script?
I'd suggest something like:
vim -c "argdo source myscript.vim | update" *.file
