          Appeal No. 1999-2637                                                         
          Application 08/813,864                                                       


          Specification, page 5, line 33, to page 6, line 1.  NPT may                  
          have one active session for the user interface, or the session               
          the user is working with which does not have the focus, and a                
          different session having the focus simultaneously                            
          communicating with the host processor.  Specification, page 6,               
          lines 2-6.  An input from the operator via the keyboard and/or               
          mouse through the user active session is not passed to the WSC               
          until the active user interface session has the focus.                       
          Specification, page 6, lines 9-12.  If the input is made in a                
          session which does not have the focus, the input is queued and               
          the NPT requests the WSC to change the focus through the                     
          session which currently has the focus.  Specification, page 6,               
          lines 12-15.  Upon receipt of the change focus request, the                  
          WSC will send the twinaxial change focus command to pass the                 
          focus to the active user interface session; and the NPT                      
          informs the WSC of the input which has been queued while the                 
          session did not have the focus.  Specification, page 6, lines                
          15-20.                                                                       
               Representative claim 1 reads as follows:                                
          1.  Apparatus for supporting multiple display sessions through               
          a single address on a non-programmable terminal (NPT), the NPT               

                                           3
