          Appeal No. 2001-2003                                                        
          Application 08/939,185                                                      


          as a second source.  The video game depiction in Figure 17 is               
          stated to be an online capability, thus requiring clearly an                
          additional, second source.  The same is said for shopping                   
          services and the I-mail, both of which make specific references             
          to hypertext links and the Internet in addition to the refer-               
          ences made to the Internet at column 1, line 22 and column 4,               
          lines 36-39.  All this is significant in the context of the                 
          rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 103 of claim 58 on appeal.                      
               We are thus unpersuaded by appellants' arguments in the                
          brief and reply brief as to the rejection of claim 43 on appeal.            
          Appellants merely assert that the single words TV and library,              
          etc., do not read on the textual data about the entertainment               
          selection, a view which we do not agree with.  As explained by us           
          earlier in this opinion, we are in agreement with the examiner's            
          view expressed best at the bottom of page 5 of the answer that a            
          multimedia identifier of the type set forth in claim 43 on appeal           
          represents another data source and in part includes the ability             
          of the user to on-screen program information including the                  
          ability to enter basically any type of indicia information on               
          the digitalizing written surface 26.  It is clear from our                  
          correlation that once a particular textual data identifier is               


                                         10
