To create a new variable, click add, and type the desired name and value.

Starting scriptIn this editor area, type the script to be executed in the console after its start-up and initialization. Note that syntax highlighting, code completion, import assistance, documentation, inspections and quick fixes are available in this editor:
py_startingScript

By default, this area contains the following script, which causes printing out a header information and extending the system paths:

import sys; print('Python %s on %s' % (sys.version, sys.platform)) sys.path.extend([WORKING_DIR_AND_PYTHON_PATHS])

If you want to omit such a printout, delete this script.
