Well, you can change the size of a button created using "New Button"
by dragging on one of its corners.

An alternate method for creating buttons (one that I use all the time)
is to hold down the command key while using the button tool, and drag:
you get a rubber band rectangle (just like the rectangle tool in MacPaint)
which defines the boundaries of a new button.
