Documentation Tutorial Typos?

As i was going through the beginners tutorials, i noticed that even when they are giving the example of a Hello World program, they leave out a pause. so any program that you copy off the tutorial will automatically close after running.
i have been using system("pause") so i can see the results of my coding. anyone know why they left this key feature out and are there better ways to stop the program from closing?
I think it's left out because it's not needed, at least not on the command line or many IDEs that don't close the console on program exit. That being said, for a better understanding, see the excellent discussion at http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/1988/ starting with the ropez post and Duoas' insights too.

Good luck.
