I'm assuming you're talking about having popups on a linux terminal.
(There's some mechanism with smbclient to do this with windows.) For
*nix, you can use xmessage (man xmessage), but you'll need to have
access rights to the X-server you want to pop ups on. Check your
distro's documentation on enabling that.
