          Application 08/977,519                                                      


                                       OPINION                                        
               We reverse.                                                            
               Appellants' Summary of the Invention at pages 4 and 5 of the           
          principal brief on appeal explains well the nature and scope of             
          the subject matter in each independent claim 1, 10, 17 and 19 on            
          appeal.  The references there are specifically to Figure 3 and              
          pages 9 and 10 of the specification as filed.  The Summary of the           
          Invention in the brief, for our purposes, is consistent with the            
          Summary of the Invention at page 3 of the specification as filed            
          as well.                                                                    
               More specifically, at page 9 of the specification as filed,            
          Figure 2 is discussed with respect to the various icons shown               
          there.  It is stated at the middle of page 9 that "[u]nique HTML            
          tags are assigned to the program and data file of each icon.  A             
          web page is viewable on a web browser to display the HTML tags."            
          Table 1 then shows an example of an HTML folder tag.  Figure 3              
          depicts a view of a web browser web page and sub-folder web page            
          having HTML tags corresponding to the icons displayed in Figure             
          2.  Various HTML tags are shown in Figure 3 displayed on the web            
          page 26, where the HTML tags correspond respectively to the                 
          operating system icons of Figure 2.  The HTML tags shown in                 


                                          3
