          Appeal No. 96-2894                                                          
          Application 08/742,974                                                      

          deficiency, the rejection of claim 1 is reversed.  The                      
          rejection of dependent claims 2-8 is also reversed.                         
               In addition, we note that the rejection of claims 1-8                  
          must be reversed because neither Andersen nor Abrahamson                    
          discloses the limitations in the "distributed delivery                      
          system" subparagraph in claim 1.  We find no discussion of                  
          these specific limitations about searching the network and                  
          transferring and retrieving courses in the examiner's                       
          actions.                                                                    

               Claims 10-12                                                           
               The rejection of independent claim 9 over Andersen has                 
          been reversed.  Abrahamson does not supply the deficiency as                
          to claim 9's limitation "to deliver a course from said at                   
          least one workstation to said repository."  Accordingly, the                
          rejection of claims 10-12 is reversed.                                      

               Claims 14-18                                                           
               As to claims 14-18, appellants merely recite the                       
          limitation of each claim and the advantage of the feature.                  
          This does not constitute an argument as to the separate                     
          patentability of the claims.  See 37 CFR § 1.192(c)(6)(iv)                  

                                       - 17 -
