          Appeal No. 97-2477                                                           
          Application 08/212,908                                                       

          examiner.  The examiner states that element 60 in Dunn is a                  
          pull-down menu.  However, even if element 60 is regarded as a                
          pull-down menu, the menu has not been shown as being activated               
          by any placed descriptor icon and the examiner has not shown                 
          how attributes have been defined for the icons by using the                  
          pull-down menu.                                                              
               For the foregoing reasons, the rejection of claims 1-24                 
          as being unpatentable over Dunn and Watkins cannot be                        
          sustained.                                                                   
                                      Conclusion                                       
               The rejection of claims 1-24 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, first               
          paragraph, as being without written description in the                       
          specification is reversed.
