LIMIT = [ latsouth, lonwest, latnorth, loneast ]
Caution: If you don't cover the Greenwich meridian, you need to set the
LON0 parameter to a value within your LIMIT.
Example: MAP_SET,0,-80,LIMIT= ,/CONTINENTS,/GRID,/ISO
gives you a map of North America.

Depends on what you are doing here. If you are trying
to print it, you can do this:
Print, "Hello" + String(10b) + "There"
If you are putting it on a title of a plot, or
writing it into a graphics window, you can do this:
XYOutS, 0.5, 0.5, Align=0.5, /Normal, "Hello!CThere"

Not sure what you are asking for with "lat-lon box",
but perhaps it is the LIMIT keyword. (?)

Some ways to accomplish it:
PRINT, 'Hello', STRING( 13B ), STRING( 10B ), 'World'
PRINT, 'Hello', STRING( [13B,10B] ), 'World'
PRINT, FORMAT='(A/A)', 'Hello', 'World'
