          Application No.  08/431,307                                                 


                         building a set of final attributes from the                  
                    default attributes and the overriding attributes                  
                    during execution of the program.                                  


               The references relied on in rejecting the claims follow:               
          David S. H. Rosenthal, “Going For Baroque”, pp. 71-79, June                 
          1988                                                                        
          Beatrice Lam, “The NewWave Office”, Vol. 40, No. 4, pp. 23-31,              
          August 1989.                                                                


               Claims 26-51 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as                   
          obvious over Rosenthal in view of Lam.  Rather than repeat the              
          arguments of the appellants or examiner in toto, we refer the               
          reader to the briefs and answer for the respective details                  
          thereof.                                                                    


                                       OPINION                                        
               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered                 
          the  subject matter on appeal and the rejection and evidence                
          advanced by the examiner.  Furthermore, we duly considered the              
          arguments of the appellants and examiner.  After considering                
          the totality of the record, we are not persuaded that the                   
          examiner erred in rejecting claims 26-29, 31-39, 41-47, and
