          Appeal No. 95-3991                                                          
          Application 08/233,546                                                      



          personal card entered by a card reader to over-ride a provided              
          keyboard configuration and replace it with a configuration                  
          selected by the user" [brief, page 34].                                     
          For reasons discussed above with respect to claim 23,                       
          we agree with appellants that the over-ride feature of claim                
          37 is not suggested by any of the applied references.                       
          Therefore, we do not sustain the rejection of claim 37.                     


          In summary, we have not sustained any of the                                
          examiner’s rejections of the claims based on the prior art                  
          applied by the examiner.  Accordingly, the decision of the                  
          examiner rejecting claims 21, 23 and 33-37 is reversed.                     
                                                                                     
                                      REVERSED
