Easiest way is to use the report command.
If I say:

report " Hello World!" ;

in my testbench,
I will get this in the transcript:

# ** Note: Hello World!
# Time: 105 ns Iteration: 1 Instance: /test_mydesign

How about something like

Report time'image(now);

USE std.textio.ALL;
...
VARIABLE l: line;
...
write(l, string'("The current simulation time is: "));
write(l, now);
writeline(output, l);

This will write to stdout: the simulator window.
