If those are true, then this code:
```
use lib '.'; use NativeWinUtils :RunCmd; say RunCmd(Q[ls]);
```
is NOT running the code you showed starting `sub RunCmd`.

Hi All,
Windows Pro Chromebook Edition 22H2 (W11)
raku -v Welcome to RakudoΓäó v2022.07.
When ever I run the following, it opens
a Notepad with the text of the calling
raku program.
raku -e "use lib '.'; use NativeWinUtils :RunCmd; say RunCmd(Q[ls]);"
This is RunCmd
sub RunCmd( Str $CommandStr, Bool $EchoOff = False ) returns Str is
export( :RunCmd ) {
my $PathIAm = $?FILE;
my Str $BatFile = $PathIAm ~ ".bat";
# print "$BatFile\n";
my Str $RtnStr;
my Str $CmdStr = "";
if $EchoOff { $CmdStr = Q[@echo off] ~ "\n"; }
$CmdStr = $CmdStr ~ $CommandStr ~ "\n";
# print "$CmdStr";
spurt( $BatFile, $CmdStr );
$RtnStr = qqx { $BatFile };
# print "$RtnStr\n";
}
It is the qqx command (it runs the created .bat file)
that opens the notepad.
The .bat file, which I leave on the disk,
runs fine manually.
And I did this to myself. I had a pop up that
asked me what to do with something and I must
have clicked on it by accident.

Anything opens notepad with the source code to
NativeWinUtils.pm6.
What in the world did I do???
