          Appeal No. 97-1227                                                          
          Application 08/163,416                                                      

          10, line 64, to column 11, line 13, reveals that when removing              
          a window display the host need not send the underlying panel                
          data back to the local processor for display because the local              
          processor did not at first, when originally creating the                    
          window on display, send to the host the underlying panel data               
          for storage.                                                                
               For the foregoing reasons, the rejection of claims 1 and               
          3 as being anticipated by Eagen and claims 2 and 4 as being                 
          unpatentable over Eagen cannot be sustained on the basis of                 
          the examiner’s stated rationale regarding what data is stored               
          in the host.  Additionally, the rejection of claims 2 and 4                 
          cannot be sustained because the examiner has cited no prior                 
          art which reasonably would have suggested to one with ordinary              
          skill that the appearance of the cursor changes as it enters                
          and leaves an action field within the display.  Eagen’s                     
          generally teaching a "full range" of cursor controls                        
          nonetheless still fail to reasonably suggest changing the                   
          cursor’s appearance as it enters and leaves the action field.               
          New Grounds of Rejection                                                    
          under 37 CFR § 1.196(b)                                                     
                               Unpatentable over Eagen                                


                                          7
