Both techniques work. The call method is a bit easier because using vim.exe requires using the entire path to vim.exe.
Thank you both for the assist!

If I recall correctly, directly calling one .bat file from another will terminate the caller when the callee terminates. But you can use the "call" command, like "call vim.bat" to prevent this.
