Many thanks to Jamal and Doug for their quick responses.
Based on Jamal's tip, I wrote the following code which does what I wanted.
Awesome!
One of the side effects is the display of the virtual viewer window.
Despite using SetJCFOption and even SetDefaultJCFOption functions to reset
the related setting, OPT_VIRT_VIEWER,
the window still shows up.
Resetting it using Configuration Manager does help but it's not what I want.
I would like to temporarily reset the option, say messages, and put it back
to its original value.
Any suggestion?
The other side effect is, if the user presses letters during SayAll,
they will be interpreted as navigation commands.
How can I suppress that?
Your input is highly appreciated.

Let GOriginalVirtualViewerOption = GetJCFOption (OPT_VIRT_VIEWER)

SetDefaultJCFOption (OPT_VIRT_VIEWER, 0)

UserBufferAddText ("First Message. The Script Manager is a JAWS script
editing program with all the features necessary for you to create scripts.")
UserBufferActivate ()
SayAll ()
EndScript

SayAllStoppedEvent()
UserBufferDeactivate ()
SetJCFOption (OPT_VIRT_VIEWER, GOriginalVirtualViewerOption)
SetDefaultJCFOption (OPT_VIRT_VIEWER,
GOriginalDefaultVirtualViewerOption)
ScheduleFunction ("SaySecondMessage", 50)
EndFunction
Void Function SaySecondMessage ()
SayString ("Second Message. The Script Manager always opens the script
file associated with the active application. If the program does not have
any scripts, JAWS creates a new script file.")
EndFunction
