why does the button take up the whole space of the window that appears
when I run the java [sic] program?

You should call 'd.pack()' before 'setVisible()'. Also, don't run GUI =

actions

on the main thread; confine them to the Event Dispatch Thread.

Use spaces (up to four per level) to indent Usenet posts, not TAB charact=

ers.

Spelling counts in Java programming, as does case.
