Jim,

I'm trying to do this from memory, so:

GRAMPS has a few predefined dialog boxes that it uses.

import QuestionDialog

QuestionDialog.WarningDialog("Set your title here","More info")

> 2) print a message to the console/system-out

print "hello world!"

This would involve opening and closing a file.

f = open("filename","w")

f.write("This is my message\n")

f.close()
