Suppress the 'press any key to continue' in batch script

I am writing a batch script. After a stage in the command window it says 'press any key to continue' and halts, and after something is pressed the script continues. How can I prevent this in the script?

That's the output of the PAUSE command:

The problem with PAUSE is that it's often necessary when you run a batch file from Windows explorer (or you cannot read the output) but it's annoying in the command prompt. I asked about it here and I was suggested a nifty trick:

Conditional PAUSE (not in command line)
