Although the option is buried away in an obscure part of the IDE config (it
could also be better described), I believe this option might work for me.
It appears to keep the output of terminated programs open - it doesn't
close them when a new instance is started - so the programs can be re-run
with arguments and VM options preserved.

That is something that I can use. Still, it would be great if I could
execute a program in a fresh tab with a set of arguments and VM options; I
could then, with the option to close terminated programs disabled, more
easily manage the instances that I need to run.

I observe this is certainly doable; the main concern that I have is that
the arguments I give to my programs change often. Hence, it would be
excellent if I could select a menu item after right-clicking on a project
that said "Run with arguments..." so I can disclose the arguments I need to
start the instance.

Thank you sincerely for the tip; I hope I might see the changes I have
suggested to NB in a near future release.
