          FLEMING, Administrative Patent Judge.                                       

                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   

               This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of               
          claims 1-7.                                                                 
               The invention is an alphanumerical keyboard which is                   
          programmed such that an alpha-character is generated only when              
          two adjacent keys are simultaneously depressed.  A numeral is               
          generated only when a single key is depressed.
