The Commandline box allows you to specify command line options. So if
you have a script 'xyz.py' and you can invoke it from the command line
with 'xyz.py --option1 -s', then you can put the '--option1 -s' in the
Commandline box in the debugger. If your script doesn't do any command
line processing, then leave it blank.

I've never used it, but I think the Environment box allows you to set
environment variables that might be needed by your script.

HTH.

Tony.
