Clarification: This is Insight's console, not an OS console.
I think you can also enter "run arg1 arg2 .." to set the arguments 
(arguments are space separated). Enter just "set args" with no arguments 
to clear the argument list for subsequent runs. Put "set args ..." in 
gdbinit to have the args always set and used.

Would that be the place that says "Command to issue after attaching:"? 
That doesn't sound like arguments.

I don't usually pass arguments since I mainly use insight and gdb for 
embedded work. But occasionally I do and always forget how.
