          Appeal No. 95-1423                                                          
          Application 07/928,883                                                      

               On arrow 22, each input element or character has an                    
          associated color indicator for a specific predetermined color:              


          red (R), green (G) and/or blue (B) (page 5, lines 2-5).                     
          Arrow 24 shows an alternative input where the                               
          characters/supporting elements are subdivided into groups with              
          each group having color indicators, K , K , K , . . . , which1   2  3                               
          are not assigned to a specific color (page 5, lines 10-16).                 
               Arrow 26 shows one output option where each specifically               
          assigned input color indicator is converted into a single                   
          specifically assigned output color indicator according to a                 
          fixed conversion pattern (page 5, lines 17-29).  Under this                 
          output option, one or more of the input colors may be                       
          displayed as a different output color.                                      
               Arrow 28 shows an alternative output option where each                 
          assigned input color indicator K , is assigned an output color              
                                          j                                           
          based on character type/location (page 5, lines 30-34).  The                
          specification is less than clear as to how these color values               
          are assigned except to say that they can be manually chosen by              
          the designer or automatically chosen according to several
