Debug executable with arguments in IDA

Question

In the disassembler and debugger IDA, is there any way to run the currently loaded binary with command line parameters? For instance, say I have the command /bin/ls and want to debug it as /bin/ls test.txt, how could I do that in IDA?

I've searched the Internet for an answer, and can't find anything! The best I could find was a forum where a user asked this question, and then was rudely instructed to do some Google-ing on his own first, before asking! Not very helpful... — Numeri

Go to the Debugger / Process options... menu item and fill the test.txt argument in the Parameters field.

The path to the executable (including the binary) will be in the Application field.
