[Is this in a FAQ yet?]

Short answers:
- Yes, if you type "run -5 elf.o" in the Console Window, it will work as
you expect.
- Alternatively, go to File->Target Settings... and select the "exec"
target. When you do, one of the options available will be for program
args. Just enter "-5 elf.o" there and you're set to go. Clicking on the
run button will pass these args to the inferior. Or at least it should!
