Cmd-R does a "reply" which can certainly be scripted. But, what do you intend to do with the Return? If I choose Reply and then type Return, I am just typing a blank line at the insertion point of my reply. The Cmd-S saves the message, of course. Is that all you want to do? Is the Return there simply to make the message modified, and therefore to make Save work, or what? This looks like a very easy script. Here's a starter, if I'm interpreting your intentions correctly.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    set theMsgs to the current messages
    set theMsg to item 1 of theMsgs -- Reply just to one message
    if class of theMsg is incoming message then
        reply to theMsg attribution style short attribution with opening window and quote entire message
        copy return to the selection
        save the front window
    else
        display dialog "You can reply only to incoming messages."
    end if
end tell
