You had some questions:

To start: a command is a SCRIPT command, so command+space is no command.
In MetaCard there is no key equivalent, and the script command is:
hide menubar -- the most simple thing you can think off!
> 2) Is there a command which will allow you show/hide the message box? (In

In MetaCard, every single window is a stack, including the Tools Palette,
ask dialog, every window. To close a window, you use the command:
close <stackname>
-- in this case
close "Message Box"
BTW You can use Command + M also in MetaCard

That's very weird! If I start a stack by doubleclicking on it, there is no
home stack at all. Do you mean that you start MetaCard, and open your stack
by the menu File>Open? Then you have to use (again) close. The stack name is
up to you!

The answer on this question, you can find in the metacard help. Choose menu
command Help>Index, and type some first letters of the word you search for.
Click on a subject, and you'll get help. MetaCard is so really simple!
