I've not yet read what everyone else said, but my opinion would be to 
open one sub-window and put all new content there, *IF* we can do that.  
Opening lots of windows gets confusing and takes the chance of having 
the user think the application is 'broken' when it is simply waiting for 
a button push from a window which has been inadvertantly put into the 
background.

If you can't have one subwindow which holds all of these screens, then 
do what seems to make the most sense to you and let us see how it 
works.. maybe then we can help work something out if it needs work.
