          Application 07/831,953                                                      



          Borland, Quattro® Pro User Manual, p. 235-250; 1989                         
          Microsoft  Windows 3.0 User Manual, p. xi-xvi, 20-22, 46, 157,              
                   ®                                                                  
          and 494; 1990                                                               

               Claims 1, 2, 5 and 6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                  
          102(a) as being anticipated by Microsoft .  All claims also                 
                                                  ®                                   
          stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As evidence of                       
          obviousness, the examiner relies upon Microsoft  in view of                 
                                                         ®                            
          Borland as to claims 1, 2, 5 and 6.  As to claims 3, 4, and 7               
          to 9, the examiner relies upon Microsoft  in view of Norwood.               
                                                  ®                                   
               Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the              
          examiner, reference is made to the briefs and the answers for               
          the respective details thereof.                                             


                                       Opinion                                        
               Generally for all the reasons expressed by the examiner                
          in the answers, and for the additional reasons presented here,              
          we will sustain all three prior art rejections of all the                   
          claims on appeal.  To round-out the examiner's detailed                     
          analysis of the claimed invention and appellant's arguments,                
          we add the following.                                                       

                                          3
