title: Running timeout command in batch file without the timout message appearing
body: <p>I am trying to make a Batch file, and part of it calls for a timeout command for 15 seconds to be called.  This is that part of the code...</p>
  
  <pre><code>@echo off
  timeout 15
  echo The script is waiting to run...
  pause
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And the following is displayed...</p>
  
  <pre><code>Waiting for 15 seconds, press any key to continue...
  The script is waiting to run...
  pause
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But what I am trying to do is make the message below the timeout line display in place of the timeout message.  Is there any way that this can be done?</p>
