I'm modifying the majoras mask texture pack and theres a windowpane on the glass texture and i tried taking it off with the program gimp but when i do it it makes things like torches have a bunch of white texture around it or a door having a little hole in it, the hole is now just white

GIMP is great for this stuff, I prefer it to Paint.net. OP: Could you post screenshots? Might help us figure the problem out.
I'm guessing one of two things: You aren't erasing, but rather drawing on it? Use the Select Tool to select the area you want to get rid of then hit the Delete key. Or are you not saving it as a .png? If you're saving it as a .jpg (if minecraft will even accept that), .jpg doesn't support transparency.

yes i was erasing it with the select tool
but when i opened the texture pack all the other blocks that had clear parts in it like torches all became white
do i have to re-delete the white parts?
also i'm saving it as terrain.png does that mean saving it as .png?

I would just start with a new copy of the terrain.png (keep any changes you made in a different file). I think I know what happened.
Did you start a new document, and then paste the terrain.png into it? GIMP defaults to a document with a background color (white) instead of one with transparency. There's two ways to avoid this:
1. Open a terrain.png you know that works right, and make the changes on that.
2. If you make a new document, before you hit "OK" to create it, click on the little + sign next to Advanced Options. In the "Fill with:" dropdown menu, select Transparency. You will see a checkered grey background, this is the transparent area.
You can change the default settings. Under the Edit menu, click on Preferences. Click Default Image on the list. Again, change the "Fill with:" to Transparency and hit "OK." From now on all new documents you create will default to a transparent background.
Some programs erase to a white background
