Well, if you set up a command window (by using Wimp_CommandWindow) you
can specify if you want a "Press SPACE..." message or not (see PRM). Of
course you do not want a command window (you want the whole screen) but
maybe this is one step towards the solution of your problem. I guess the
programs who do what you want also first set up a command window and after
that takes the whole screen.

Disclaimer: I do not have the PRM's at work, so I am using my memory alone.
