          Appeal No. 1999-1604                                                         
          Application 08/741,419                                                       


          contained in memory useable in a computer system that is                     
          implementing a windowing system.  Specifically, the compiled                 
          objects are widgets (figure 2, item 201) representing a window               
          displayed in a windowing system.  The widget comprises means                 
          which when executed in the computer system at runtime set a                  
          resource of the widget to invocations of arbitrary functions                 
          of a set (specification, page 5, lines 9-30).  The widget also               
          comprises means which when executed in the computer in                       
          response to a change in the widget, employ the invocation to                 
          execute a function of the set of arbitrary functions specified               
          in the invocation (specification, page 5, line 25 through page               
          6, line 12).                                                                 
               Independent claims 1 and 25 are reproduced as follows:                  
               1.  A widget contained in memory means useable in a                     
          computer system that is implementing a windowing system, the                 
          widget representing a window displayed in the windowing system               
          and the widget comprising:                                                   
               means which when executed in the computer system at                     
          runtime set a resource of the widget to one or more                          
          invocations of arbitrary functions of a set thereof; and                     
               means which when executed in the computer system in                     
          response to a change in the widget employ the invocation to                  
          execute a function of the set of arbitrary functions specified               
          in the invocation.                                                           
               25.  A drawing widget contained in memory means useable                 
                                           2
