    Hi All,

    Windows 10-1909 Pro

    raku -v
    This is Rakudo version 2020.01 built on MoarVM version
    2020.01.1 implementing Perl 6.d.

    I am opening Raku from the registry with

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\OpenWithFileAttributes.pl6\command]
    @="\"C:\\rakudo\\bin\\raku.exe\"
    \"K:\\Windows\\NtUtil\\FileAttributes.pl6\" \"%1\""

    Problem: up pops a big black box with Raku running it in.
    Is there a way to rid myself of the big black box?
    (I have pops for the information that is reported to
    the user.)


    Many thanks,
    -T

This is a Windows explorer/shell issue. Search the web; this is one approach - use cmd with some switches to start with the window minimized

I'm a fan of Emacs on all my platforms; their solution in Windows is a tiny executable that opens Emacs without having the secondary shell window, if I understand correctly.

Rats.  I was hoping it was something in Raku's run string.

Thank you for the CMD tip!
