Yeah, I tried running both on Linux + bash (vim 7.4) and Windows + cmd.exe (vim 8.0). vim -e -s myfile < script.vim works on Linux but freezes on Windows. But the 1p was tested on Linux, on Windows I just can't get reading the script from stdin to work, so there may be something I'm doing wrong.

@liberforce There's several different environments you can run Vim in on Windows. Are you running in the standard Windows Command Prompt cmd.exe? Is that what you were using when you wrote your question? I can't get your original command to work at all in cmd.exe, but if it's printing out output from 1p, I'd be surprised if it doesn't print out the output of :set. Might be worth reporting to the Vim developers if that's the case.

@liberforce That's because writing the output of set commands to stdout is specifically a feature of silent mode. Reading from a script :h -s is an entirely different mode of operation, which does not have that feature.

One of my constraints is to have it run with vim on Windows. This works: vim -e -s -c "set ff?" -c "quit" myfile, i.e one must use double quotes. I couldn't get vim -e -s myfile < script.vim to work.

This is strange, set ff? is the first thing I tried, but a that time I had tried it with the syntax vim -s ../script.vim myfile, and in that mode :set ff? doesn't work as intended.
