You need to use a Text box not a Canvas. Canvas is for drawing
shapes and displaying images etc.

If you use a Text box you can simply convert your print messages
into insertions into the text box. Alternatrively use a simple
label but change the text each time. That way you only see the
latest message...

Your prompts and inputs can be a label and Text Entry pair,
simply change the contents of the label and read the contents
of the entry box.

Examples of all of this can be found in the GUI and Case Study
topics in my tutorial.
