          Appeal No. 95-0340                                                          
          Application 07/771,685                                                      



          suggest a method for use with a communication system comprising             
          the step of transmitting a temporary over-ride instruction to the           
          communication system to temporarily over-ride at least one                  
          element in the information profile without removing 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 as recited in Appellants’ claims.                      
               The Examiner argues on page 4 of the answer that Riskin in             
          column 28, lines 1-10, teaches transmitting a temporary over-ride           
          instruction to the communication system to temporarily over-ride            
          at least one element in the information profile.  The Examiner              
          further states on page 4 of the answer that while Riskin did not            
          specifically teach that the over-ride was to be done without                
          removing the element from the system, such that the over-ride               
          instruction can later be replaced by that element automatically,            
          it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at           
          the time of the invention to prevent any deletions of destination           
          number of Product-Dealers from the system because of the increase           
          in integrity of the system gained by preventing persons accessing           
          the system from indiscriminately deleting numbers of vendors                
          and/or vendors from deleting the numbers of their competitors.              

                                          4
