Hi Marco

You used the wrong quotes around <which vi>!
There are three different types: 
1) the "straight" ones <'> : these you used.
2) the "raising" ones <´>
3) the "falling" ones <`> : these you should have used.
  The difference is, that shell commands enclosed by them are executed.

Hope that made it clearer.
