I think you got to use setvbuf or setbuf.  I forgot myself.  But you could
always do this instead.
     printf( "Hello." );
     fflush( stdout );
     getch();

Incidentally, if you'd used an stdio function like say, getchar(); to pause
for input, it would have remembered to send pending output to the screen.
