It does NOT do getch() before printf(). It's just that the text
you sent to screen remain in bufer till something kick his ass out.
Usually it's new line of text or function fflush( stdio ).
You can allso set bufer to zero and there will be no bufering at
all ( some function setvbuf() or something like that ). Or :))
U can use functions that aren't bufered. Puff!
The "Hello world!" that U wanted :

main ()
{
  printf ( "\n At your service master" );
  fflush( stdio ); // kick the sucker out on the field. Yeah!!
  getch() // Now will the slave wait for next command
}
