Try the following script...

on doMenu cmd
  if cmd = "Message" then
    answer "Bleah!!"
  else
    pass doMenu
  end if
end doMenu

You can have a series of nested if's to check for the various other
menu calls (e.g. Help, Find... etc).  Also you could set the userLevel
property to 1 or 2 or whatever to lock out the message (I think!)
