So far so good...

Don't do that!  That is not a real console, you know, it is just a 
little hack so people can issue commands that have not yet been added to the
GUI (probably because they don't fit in a GUI model).

You *must* use the Target Settings dialog and the options from the Run menu.

I will take note of the problem you found trying to use "run" on the console
window but it probably won't be easy to fix and won't given a very high priority
either.  But it will be listed in the bug database nevertheless.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Regards.
