Quite. Or the other way: add to "Run" menu an option called "Run 
arguments" which opens a window where user can type some parameters 
which in turn are remembered (for the current work session would 
suffice I think) and appended each time Run (F5) is pressed.

That way I define arguments like --verbose or --debug once and they are 
added every time the script is run. You know, I do more scripts than 
programs actually :)
