    d1.append(t1);
    d1.append(t2);
    d1.addCommand(c1);
    d1.addCommand(c2);
    d1.setCommandListener(this);

    // i want to know about which object to "this" keyword is poiniting . is pointing to "d1"? is it possible to that "this" to/or can be made point to other object other than "d1"
    acc to me this keyword will refer to Demo class.

    I'm not really sure what your question is. What are you confused about?

    The "this" keyword points to the Object. When in an inner class, it references the inner Object, but you can use the outer Object's this keyword by using the "OuterClassName.this" keyword.

    What did google tell you? After googling "java this", I found this (no pun intended) tutorial: Using the this Keyword (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Classes and Objects)
