On completion, the resulting session is saved, and some tabs are refreshed.
The last tab refreshed is displayed, resulting in the ActiveObjects tab being the current tab.
-program "c:\myProgram.exe" -saveSession "c:\myResults\session1.tvm" -displayUI -refreshSummary -refreshLocks -refreshActiveObjects
