Do you mean that you want to ask the user for input and show output to the user?
If so then see the Elisp manual, nodes `Text from Minibuffer' and `Minibuffer
Completion', for reading input. You can use a function such as `completing-read'
or `read-from-minibuffer'.
To show output, you can use function `message' or fill a buffer with the output
and use `display-buffer' or `pop-to-buffer'. See also
`with-output-to-temp-buffer.
