Yes it does...
Cut and paste this into editor and save to ...\experts\scripts\<scriptName.mq4> and then compile it <F5>...
int start()
{
    Alert("Alert() *does* work in script");   
    return(0);
}
from Terminal > Experts tab

The Alert() output
 
Ok, you are right, men, thank you for example, but I have test it now in Strategytester :-) and there it dont work, why not not?
 
Read article Testing Features and Limits in MetaTrader 4
Some functions are processed/passed without output
These are Sleep(), Alert(), SendMail(), PlaySound(), MessageBox(), WindowFind(), WindowHandle(), WindowIsVisible()
 

Many things may not work in Strategy Tester to improve the performance during the test.

 
Ok, thank you for your Infos, no matter, MetaTrader is anyway god :-)
