I like the "run from the command-line" or "set a breakpoint solution"
over putting in an artificial pause. If you get in the habit putting
in the pause, once you start doing real development and you are making
console applications, you will have to unlearn that habit because
people will be running your software and wondering why it hangs and
doesn't return to the command-line. And this is true whether you are
using Windows or one of the many Unix variants.
