I didn't think anyone saw my first thread when I posted it, so I posted it
one last time.

Anyways, I see what your saying about pack() not having any dimensional
object to pack and therefore not adjusting the frame accordingly. So I tried
it without pack() and the frame goes to the proper size, but doesn't display
my "hello world" string.
I tried using a panel but still couldn't see my "hello world"

All I'm trying to do is open a window that displays my applet and lets me
display images and draw a few things.
Is there a easier way?
