If Msg consists of more than one line, you can separate the lines using a carriage return – linefeed character combination (#13#10) between each line.
The name of the application's executable file appears as the caption of the message box.

To display a message in a message box with other buttons, or with an icon, use the MessageDlg function.

...
var s : string;

s := 'First line' + #13#10 + 'Second line...';
