category

declaration
procedure ShowMessage(const Msg: string);

description
ShowMessage displays a message in a dialog box, waits for the user to click an OK button.

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.

example
uses Dialogs;
...
var s : string;

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

Showmessage(s)

//First line
//Second line...
