- Go to Insert, then Object...
- In the window that pops up, find Hint, and click OK
- In the Explorer panel, select the hint you inserted
- In the Properties panel, find Text

Your message should appear at the bottom of the screen.
Scripting and Messages
You can use Scripting to have more control over your messages.
While in Roblox Studio,
- In the Explorer panel, select Workspace
- Go to Insert, then Object...
- In the window that pops up, find Script, and click OK
- Find the script in the Explorer panel, and double-click it to open the script editor.
- Copy the following and paste it into the script:
local m = Instance.new("Message") -- inserts a new message
m.Parent = game.Workspace -- put the message in the workspace
m.Text = "Hello World!" -- change "Hello World!" to whatever you like
wait(10) -- waits 10 seconds
m:Remove() -- removes the message
Once you have done that, click the Close Tab 
button to exit the script editor.
To run the script, press the Play Template:Studio button. Be sure to save your place first!
Hints
Here is the same script as above, but for hints:
local h = Instance.new("Hint")
h.Parent = game.Workspace
h.Text = "Hello World!"
wait(10)
h:Remove()
