The reason for the error seems to be that -xi3- runs the commands as
version 7 commands, and in version 7 the -vce()- option did not exist.
Anyhow the -xi3- prefix is just a convenience command (a very convenient 
convenience command, but a convenience command nontheless), so if it 
doesn't do what you want you can always make the variables yourself. 

Hope this helps,
