Description
I'm doing a semi-interactive task in DrRacket, and I want to run the program again without erasing all the previous output.
I understand it may be confusing for new users, but I need to cut and paste old stuff and compare the old and new output.
Is it possible to add this option to the "Preferences>General" selection window?

Research direction
Start by locating the Preferences > General implementation and the code that clears output when a program is run. Confirm how the option should affect repeated runs while preserving existing output, then verify that the preference and rerun behavior work together.
