SysUtils? SysUtils is part of the RTL, there is no cross-platform GUI
routine in the entire RTL. The RTL and FCL don't contain GUI code
because that would make the development of non-gui software a mess.

The simplest option is using Windows.MessageBox (which obviously only
works in Windows)

MSDN docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms645505(VS.85).aspx

Or use your IDE to find the declaration of Windows.MessageBox
