Please confirm that:
* Entering `ls` at the command line prompt does what it says
on the tin, it does not open notepad.
* A Raku program that consists of the single line `qqx 'ls'` does
what it says on the tin, and does not open notepad.
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`.
