How about -
print "\n\nWelcome to the Backwards Message Display."
print
message = raw_input("\nPlease Enter a Message.")
msgAsList = [ char for char in message]
msgAsList.reverse()
reversedMessage = ''.join(msgAsList)
I can't test that, but it should work.
But, with regard to -

low will always be the first char of the string, won't it? In which case,
It'd always be 0. or len(message) - len(message) !

These both work (though neither is very graceful).
text = "hello"
message = ""
for i in range(len(text)):
message = message + text[(len(text)-i-1)]
print message
lst = list(text)
newstr = ""
for item in text:
newstr += (lst.pop())
print newstr
