             Application No. 08/114,979

             being unpatentable over Sharp in view of Norwood, IBM and                                            
             WordPerfect.  Claims 14 and 21 through 23 stand rejected under

             Norwood, IBM and AgentDA.  Claims 17 and 20 stand rejected                                           
             under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being unpatentable over Sharp in view                                       
             of IBM and Griffin.                                                                                  


                          Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants                                       
             and                                                                                                  
             the Examiner, reference is made to the brief and answer for                                          
             the respective details thereof.                                                                      


                                                    OPINION                                                       
                          After a careful review of the evidence before us, we                                    
             will not sustain the rejection of claims 1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 12,                                         
             14, 17 and 20 through 23 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.                                                      
                          The Examiner has failed to set forth a prima facie                                      
             case.  It is the burden of the Examiner to establish why one                                         
             having ordinary skill in the art would have been led to the
