Yes you can use the net send command from the command prompt. (in this form:
net send location message)
(start, run, cmd)
Examples
To send the message "Meeting changed to 3 P.M." to the user robert, type:

net send robert Meeting changed to 3 P.M.
(computer name or computer ip address can also be used)

In Windows XP, 'messenger service' should be started. To send use 'net
send' command. In Windows 98/98SE, 'Winpopup.exe' should be started.
It has more intuitive GUI.

You may use Bassline WinPopUp (http://basslinesoft.com/) working in
both Windows XP and 98/98SE. It is fully compatible with 'messenger
service' and 'Microsoft Winpopup'. It has GUI and supports much better
features.

That is what the service is intended for, You want the NET SEND command
in the command prompt - use NET SEND /? to find description

Everybody already wrote you that you may use console "net send" to
send messages, I also want to add that you must have WinPopup or
compatible program (I personally use very nice alternative called
WinMessenger - http://www.winpopup.com) running on your Windows 9x
clients.
