                 Application 08/741,419                                                                                                                


                  the claimed  drawing widget which includes a set values43                                                                                                               
                  method that sets a resource of the widget to one or more                                                                             
                  invocations of functions.  As we have found above, as shown

                  client application relies solely upon X toolkit 2030, the Xt                                                                         
                  intrinsics Library 2040 and the Xlib 2050, none of which                                                                             
                  forms a part of a widget being modified in the client                                                                                
                  application .  The set values function is intrinsics function44

                          Therefore, the rejection of claim 25 under 35 U.S.C.                                                                         
                  § 102(e) as anticipated by Swanson is reversed.                                                                                      
                          We have not sustained any of the rejections of claims 1-                                                                     
                  25.  Accordingly, the Examiner's decision is reversed.
