         This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's refusal to                
         allow claims 1 through 7 and 21 through 25 as amended in a paper           
         (Paper No. 9) filed subsequent to the final rejection.  Claims 8           
         through 14, the only other claims pending in the application,              
         have been withdrawn from consideration as being directed to non-           
         elected inventions.  Claims 15 through 20 have been canceled.
