You need to append a 

        msg.document.close();

to close the stream. This is necessary for any output that doesn't cause a
new line or paragraph in
the browser (with <H1> does).  There are also some font formatting tags you
can use.  If you don't
want to close the output stream the simplest approach of all is to add a <P>
after the text, as in

        msg.document.write ("Hi<P>");
