          forth in the rejection of claim 1 et al., and further in view of            
          Morrison.                                                                   
               Kinoshita discloses, in pertinent part, an interface for a             
          wire cut electric discharge machine.  The interface includes a              
          CRT display unit 5 for displaying various machining conditions,             
          and a keypad 4 comprising a plurality of push buttons for                   
          presetting and updating the machining conditions.  The push                 
          buttons include cursor position control buttons 6, 7 for shifting           
          a cursor C appearing on the screen, buttons 8, 9 for,                       
          respectively, incrementing and decrementing a preset value, and             
          buttons K0-K9 for directly inputting a numerical value.  To                 
          preset a machining condition value or change a previously set               
          machining condition value, the cursor position control buttons              
          are utilized to select a particular displayed machining                     
          condition, e.g., VOLTAGE.  Next, either the buttons 8, 9 are used           
          to incrementally change the value of the selected machining                 
          condition, or the buttons K0-K9 are used to directly input a                
          desired numerical value for the selected machining condition.               
               Yoshiura discloses a power system facility display device.             
          With reference to Figure 4 of the translation of Yoshiura, the              
          device displays the total system subject area A as a basic                  
          screen.  When a user desires to investigate a particular area of
