I think the issue here is that you aren't understanding the console.
Normally when you write code you write some, and then run it, and then
write some, and then run it, etc etc.  Generally people who use the
console a LOT will either open the file with a console editor and
leave the console open (obviously) and run the file when they want to
test what they have done, or they edit with something else, leave a
console open and run the previous command again to see the
differences.  As for run by itself, I really think that the STDIN.getc
at the end of each program is the best you are gonna get for that.
