Press New button. This brings the Create New Profile Dialog. This dialog should have a help button that tells you what a profile is.
Added Irina to the CC for this issue.
Closing as wontfix because this is quite an old issue and the panel no longer behaves in the manner described. The New button currently opens a dialog prompting for a new name for the configuration. No help id is required to tell the user how to type a name in the text field. The help topic for the Run panel provides details on creating a configuration.
