I guess one of my problems are that I am not too certain what each part is
called. I call it a box, since it is a square box that comes up on the
screen. However, I assume you are right. What I realy mean is a widget
with a label and a button. The label tells the user which directory that
is active now. if that is wrong, the user can press the button and select
a new. The problem is that the label is not updated with the new
selection, but rather adds a new label with the new selection. The old is
still there.

Sorry... I thought I did....I have updated it below.

It is on two different tab spacings. Does that still confuse Tkinter?
