          Application 07/771,685                                                      


          selection of incoming messages.                                             
               The independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                      

               1.  A method for use with a communication system, which                
               communication system includes an information profile for at            
               least one user, which information profile includes at least            
               some user preferences regarding a plurality of different               
               user destinations for the user, such that the communication            
               system will automatically select a destination from amongst            
               a plurality of candidate destinations for a message intended           
               for the user as a function, at least in part, of the                   
               information profile, the method comprising the steps of:               
                    A) accessing the communication system via a                       
                    communication link using a communication device;                  
                    B) transmitting from the communication device via                 
                    the communication link a temporary over-ride                      
                    instruction to the communication system to                        
                    temporarily over-ride at least one element in the                 
                    information profile while retaining the at least                  
                    one element from the communication system, such                   
                    that the temporary over-ride instruction can later                
                    be automatically replaced by the at least one                     
                    element.                                                          
               The Examiner relies on the following reference:                        
                    Riskin         4,757,267      Jul. 12, 1988                       
               Claims 1 through 20 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as            
          being unpatentable over Riskin.                                             
               Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the              
          Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer for the                 
          respective details thereof.                                                 



                                          2
