Wondering about new windows in Tkinter

Jul 10th, 2005

Hello all!

Ok here's my problem:

I have a Hello World type program that I want to run in steps, and each step is in a new window. When a "next" button is pressed the old window terminates and a new one is created. Now I don't know much about the command = whatever thingy so I was wondering if you could give me some info on it? Oh and I mostly work with .bind so if so can you give me the example in that form?

Help appreciated.
