# Description
Use the message box keyword to display information to the user.
The message box is a container as well as a window. You can show and hide the message box, put information into it, and get information from it.
The two-word synonyms message window and msg window can be used only to show and hide the message box. To put a value into the message box or read the value in the message box, use the forms message, message box, and msg box.
From LiveCode 9.0 onwards use the msg global variable to refer to get and set the content of the message box as other legacy synonyms described here have been deprecated.
