I suspect that you are getting "Hello World" displayed in the status line at the bottom of the main GIMP window.

If you type (gimp-message "Hello World\n more text") you should get a message box pop up (the \n causes a new line)

That's exactly how it is.
Thanks.

But you can use (gimp-message-set-handler handler) to set the output to a dialog, the Gimp console, or what seems to be the StdErr of the Gimp process (useful is you started Gimp from a terminal).

I don't know how to do this

Code:

(gimp-message-set-handler 0) (gimp-message "Hello World")

gives me

Code:

> (gimp-message-set-handler 0) (gimp-message "Hello World")
(#t)(#t)

but "Hello World" still goes to the status line.
