I remember this helpful thread, but a search will show more. And there is display alert, which I didn’t know about for quite a while.

Some examples, just thrown together quickly (could be better):

set theAnswer to text returned of (display dialog "Does this help" default answer "" with title "Dialog Example" with icon (path to resource "GenericQuestionMarkIcon.icns" in bundle ((path to library folder from system domain as string) & "CoreServices:CoreTypes.bundle") as alias) giving up after 30 with hidden answer)

display alert "Important message" message "Message details" 

display dialog space & space & space & space & "Hello world" & return & return & "Is there anybody out there?" & return & return & "                ...anybody?"--yes, I did spaces 2 ways
