          The disclosed invention pertains to a method and                            
          apparatus for selectively capturing information from a                      
          multimedia presentation within a data processing system, and                
          designating a calendar event to be associated with the                      
          captured information.                                                       
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
               1.   A method, performed in a data processing system, for              
          selectively capturing information from a multimedia                         
          presentation within a data processing system, said data                     
          processing system including a calendar, said method comprising              
          the computer implemented steps of:                                          
                    selecting information from a multimedia presentation              
          within the data processing system;                                          
                    designating a calendar event of a calendar within                 
          the data processing system; and                                             
                    associating said selected information to the                      
          designated calendar event within the data processing system.                

          The examiner relies on the following reference:

          Claims 1-16 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as                      
          being anticipated by the disclosure of Baber.                               
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the
