              Appeal No. 95-4466                                                                                         
              Application 08/135,188                                                                                     


                                   (3) data to be acted on by said basic program instructions and                        
                                   said application instructions;                                                        
                            (b)  retrieving said subroutines from said auxiliary memory by:                              
                                   (1)  examining which common operation designation names of                            
                                   application instructions have been entered in said step (a) and                       
                                   (2)   retrieving the subroutines which correspond to the entered                      
                                   common operation designation names; and                                               
                            (c)  storing said retrieved subroutines into said main memory at a                           
                            higher memory location as compared to the sequence program                                   
                            entered at step (a), wherein said retrieved subroutines are stored in                        
                            consecutive ascending addresses in order of retrieval from said                              
                            auxiliary memory;                                                                            
                                   further comprising a step (b) (3) of displaying a status of                           
                                   whether said step (b) has been partially or fully completed.                          
                     The prior art reference of record relied upon by the Examiner in rejecting the                      
              appealed claim is:                                                                                         
                     Griffin              4,866,663                    Sep. 12, 1989                                     
                     Claim 18 stands rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Griffin.                  
                     Rather than reiterate the conflicting viewpoints advanced by the Examiner and the                   
              appellants, we make reference to the brief and answer for the details thereof.                             





                                                       OPINION                                                           


                                                           3
