               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given                 
          careful consideration to the appellants' specification and                  
          claims, to the applied prior art reference, and to the                      
          respective positions articulated by the appellants and the                  
          examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we make the                      
          determinations which follows.

          directory blocks each of which contains location information                
          that points to the file directory groups 140 associated with                
          that path (see Specification at page 13; Figure 3).  Each file
