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.

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. Owen.
