You may do this with a Key-Entqry trigger on that block. I presume that this is the enter_Query trigger.

TRIGGER KEY-ENTQRY Declare w_msg_level varchar2(3);
begin
w_msg_level := :System.Message_Level;
:System.Message_Level := 25;
Message ('Enter a query.You may press F9 <LIST>.F8 to continue'); Enter_Query;
:System.Message_level := w_msg_level;
end;

Hope this helps. I have tried this in Forms 4.0. I think this should work in Forms 3.0 also
