Yes, you are creating a new window each time.
You really need to have a separate unction create the
window once and store it (or the widgets of interest)
in a variable somewhere.

Then your other functions can simply update the widgets
through the variable(s)

Remember that anything you create inside a function
gets thrown away as soon as the function exits. To make
it persist you need to move it into global storage
(or start using objects, but thats a whole other discussion)
