@brettcannon At the end of program execution (while debugging) we display the prompt `Press any key to continue...' I've only added this as PTVS does the same thing (i.e. wanted to be consistent). However I think PTVS does it because the terminal gets closed once you hit the `Enter` key, i.e. you can't see the output). Personally I don't see the need for this in VS Code. Reason is when you execute a simple program such as `print("hello world")`, the program doesn't end until you hit the enter key (except when debugging using the standard vscode debug console). I.e. everytime you run a simple program, you have to hit the `Enter` key (more key presses). Here's an example: ``` PS C:\git\python> cd 'c:\git\python'; $env:PYTHONIOENCODING='UTF-8'; $env:PYTHONUNBUFFERED='1'; c:/python36/python C:\Users\...\.vscode-insiders\extensions\ms-python.python-0.8.0\pythonFiles\PythonTools\visualstudio_py_launcher.py c:\git\python 50640 34806ad9-833a-4524-8cd6-18ca4aa74f14 WaitOnAbnormalExit,WaitOnNormalExit c:\git\python\HelloWorld.py Hello, world! Press any key to continue . . . ```
