As you can the program starts off with a huge bunch of local constants hogging
loads of memory.
constant SomeWindow=create(Window, ...)
constant SomeControl=create(EditText, ...)
and so on.

The actual project I am working on is even bigger and will have lots more
user-interactive windows.

My question is: how can I reduce the number of local constant windows at
start-up and create only the constants (windows) the user clicks for. When the
user exits the window, how can I release the constant until it is required again?

destroy() removes the constant all together, closeWindow() keeps it in memory.
Is there something else I am missing?

Thanks & regards.
